Kyle Walker reveals that Man Utd supporters told him that they wanted Man City to win the Premier League title

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker revealed that Manchester United fans have told him they want the Citizens to win the Premier League title in Liverpool this season.

City will face United in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Wednesday, with the visitors being two points behind the league leader Liverpool, but with one game less.

Although Manchester United still needs as many points as possible to maximize their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League, some supporters remain split before Wednesday's derby.

If United won or tied, they would give Liverpool a big advantage in the Premier League title race.

English defender Walker claimed to have met United fans in the street who told him that they would prefer City to win the title.

Sitting to the Telegraph, he said, "United's fans are obviously in a difficult situation, and when I go out with my dogs or walk my dogs, United's fans come closer to me saying," We would prefer City to win the Liverpool Championship. "

Teams Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were crushed 4-0 by Everton on Sunday, compromising their hopes of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Walker said that although some United fans have told him that they want City to win the league, he does not expect the Red Devils to be so accommodating on Wednesday.

"It's strange to hear, but I can badure you that United's players will not leave a red carpet and say" Go on City, mark us in front of us ".

"They will make things difficult because it's a football match and they are also fighting for the top four so they need points."

United prevented City from winning the title last season, while he came back from 2-0 at halftime to impose 3-2 on Etihad. City would win the title next week but Walker is determined to prevent the repetition of this match.

"Obviously we could have won against them last season, they scored two good goals and won, which is probably what any fan of United wanted, City not winning the title at Etihad against United.

"We do not owe them one because we won against them [3-1] earlier in the season, but it's a match for the fans and one for us to get closer to the Premier League title. "
