in some games they get away with it because the opposition doesn&#x27;t have the quality to punish them &#8211; they will suffer and they will lose against City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope they will be smart and concentrated against City and that they don&#x27;t make mistakes. That&#x27;s the vital part. If you do, you suffer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnited won the game last year, yes. Sometimes you play against a big team and even if you don&#x27;t play well and the opposition outplay you, you can still win. This is how football works sometimes and you are surprised about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as I say, be clever, concentrate and make no mistakes.
