Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian has revealed his hidden admiration for Manchester City’s football this season.
Manchester City started the season brightly and won their first five league games, which led to many believing that they will win the Premier League at a canter this term.
However, Manchester United steadily crept up behind them and overtook their city rivals at the top of the league table with their win over Sunderland last weekend.
Despite Manchester City’s recent form, Darmian admits that he has liked the way they have played this season and is waiting to play against them later this month.
The Italy full-back feels that Manuel Pellegrini’s men are brimming with potential.

In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, the 25-year-old full-back said: “Manchester City are the team who have impressed me the most.
“We have not dealt with them yet, but I have followed a lot of their games and they have huge potential.”
Manchester United have a tough run of games in the month of October, which will test their calibre as potential Premier League title contenders for this season, and one of the crunch fixtures is against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
