United's season has been a disaster so far, with just ten wins, eight draws, and 14 defeats in 32 games. But they're still in the Europa League mix, thanks to a dramatic 5-4 comeback win over Lyon.
City, on the other hand, are fighting for a spot in the Champions League, not the title. Guardiola, ever the smooth operator, believes his side could be in a much worse position.
He told reporters, 'I don't think it's a bad thing to be fighting to qualify for the Champions League. You could be in a very low position in the Premier League if you have done fewer good things than we have done in these four, five months. We could be 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th.'
