Anderson characterized the Manchester derby as one of the most significant rivalries in global football, emphasizing City's historical supremacy in Manchester.

He also conveyed his eagerness to participate in this high-stakes match and experience the atmosphere firsthand. “It’s one of the biggest derbies worldwide. As long as I’ve known about Manchester, City has been the dominant force. I’m excited to be part of such an important fixture,” he remarked.
