Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is the real "Special One" rather than Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho, former club captain Roy Keane has claimed.
Guardiola clinched a seventh win in as many games in charge at the Etihad Stadium when his side dispatched Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Mourinho famously declared "I think I'm a special one" upon his appointment by Chelsea in 2004, but he suffered his first defeat as United boss last Saturday when City triumphed 2-1 in the Premier League.
"Two coaches in Manchester. Mourinho reckons he's the Special One, to me this guy [Guardiola] is," he said, speaking as a pundit on ITV.
"We've seen City have good starts before and they take their foot off the gas a little bit, but I don't think it will happen under this guy."
"He said he's a challenging coach - it doesn't look like he messes about," Keane added. "I wouldn't like to mess with him."
