Pep Guardiola's side has maintained superiority over their city rivals in the Premier League for a decade.
Under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, Manchester City has achieved a remarkable run in the Premier League. The Citizens have finished above Manchester United in the league standings for ten consecutive seasons.
This period of dominance began in the 2016/17 campaign. Over the last decade, the smallest points gap between the two sides was seven points, recorded in the 2025/26 season. In the other nine campaigns, the margins were 9, 19, 32, 15, 12, 35, 14, 31, and 29 points.
The statistics highlight the growing divide between the two Manchester clubs in recent years. While City has consistently competed for titles, United has often struggled to maintain a place in the top three, reflecting the contrasting fortunes of the two teams.
