Manchester City have enjoyed huge success since their takeover but Jamie Carragher claims they will never be able to match the profile of Manchester United or LiverpoolMan City have been told they'll never match the stature of Liverpool or Man UtdManchester City will never be able to trump Liverpool or Manchester United as the biggest club in the country - even if they win more trophies, claims Jamie Carragher. But despite that Carragher claims they will never be able to surpass the country's two biggest teams and doubts whether any of their rivalries could ever leapfrog some of the more historical match-ups we've had in this country.

City's rise has seen their rivalry with United heighten whilst their clashes with Liverpool have often proved to be title-defining and been regarded as some of the highest quality matches we've seen. He said: "Manchester City will never be bigger than Manchester United.

Historically, Liverpool and Manchester United will always be the biggest two clubs in this country. They [City] may end up having more trophies and league titles if they carry on winning and if United keep not being in the shout for trophies, but it’s difficult to see any club in this country ever being above Liverpool or Manchester United in terms of size and stature." Carragher's comments come three years after he did indeed declare City vs Liverpool as the "greatest rivalry in English history".
