Man City vs United will be biggest derby in world football: Mario Balotelli

Ace striker Mario Balotelli believes Manchester will soon be the home of the biggest derby in world football, as all eyes will be on Old Trafford this Sunday as Premier League leaders City face champions United.

Balotelli says he cannot wait to be part of it and said that this match up already eclipses the Milan derby between AC and his old club Inter.

He is hopeful it will not be long before between Manchester rivals eclipses the showdown between Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, The Sun reports.

The Italian striker said: "Maybe now, City v United is a better football match than Milan v Inter. If I was sat at home and could watch one of the two, I think I'd watch United v City."

"Barca v Real Madrid is the biggest for the history - but soon United v City will be the biggest derby in the world," he added.
