Sir Alex Ferguson may have been a huge success at Manchester United, but Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is a better manager.

That is the opinion of former Sheffield United and Birmingham City midfielder Curtis Woodhouse.

The pundit has compared Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola.

Curtis Woodhouse's verdict on Pep Guardiola vs Sir Alex Ferguson And, former Premier League player Woodhouse has said that Manchester City manager Guardiola is much better than Sir Alex.

MORE MAN CITY STORIESDuring his time at Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson won the Premier League 13 times and the UEFA Champions League twice.

Pep Guardiola has won the Premier League title five times with Manchester City.

During his time at Barcelona, the former Spain international midfielder won the La Liga title thrice and the UEFA Champions League twice.

The 52-year-old also guided Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga title three years in a row.

My View: Pep Guardiola wins v Sir Alex Ferguson In my opinion, Manchester City chief Pep Guardiola has overtaken former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in terms of who the better manager is.

Yes, Sir Alex is a legend, but Guardiola is a greater, better and more successful manager than the Scotsman.

This is not to undermine at all what Sir Alex Ferguson did at Manchester United.

I do think that he was remarkable and truly legendary.

It was under the Scotsman that United became a global brand and a superpower in European football.

The Red Devils won the UEFA Champions League twice under Sir Alex, who also made the club a dominant force in English football.

However, Guardiola's influence on football as a whole is much greater.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager has completely changed how football is viewed and played in England.

Even at the grassroots level and in non-league, players are playing out from the back.

That is the influence that Guardiola has had on these shores.

Oh, and he has been successful as well, not just at Manchester City, but at Barcelona and Bayern Munich as well.

Not many managers have won the UEFA Champions League with two different clubs.

City have won the Premier League title for the past three seasons during a period where Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal all can financially compete with them.

Guardiola is also a tactical genius who thinks of innovative approaches and is not afraid to experiment with ideas.
