Manchester United versus Manchester City is a big deal. Saturday’s Manchester derby is probably getting its biggest coverage in history. Apart from the numerous stories, analysis and interviews, the papers now want to know if other famous managers will be watching the game as well.

Barcelona boss Luís Enrique was asked about it during his pre-match press conference and said: “It matches the Celta-Athletic game (in terms of time), but I’ll watch it, even if recorded. As always in these cases, I expect to see a great show and let the best team win.” (via Sport)

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane said he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to watch the game, since he’ll be in the pre-match preparation for the game against Osasuna a few hours later.

Luis Enrique worked both with Manchester United manager José Mourinho and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola during his time as a player at Barcelona. Guardiola was a teammate and Mourinho was an assistant coach at the time.

Zinedine Zidane played against Guardiola a few times, and worked alongside Mourinho during his board role at the club, whilst the Special One was the manager.
