There have been a lot of reports claiming this will be Erik ten Hag's final game at the club after a disappointing campaign, where they finished eighth in the Premier League.
"In big clubs like United, City, when you don't win always you are in trouble," Pep said, as per Express.
"I would be in trouble if we didn't win."
"He has done many good things, I have huge respect for his job in the past and now at United I completely agree when I listen to him when he says they have not had a full squad this season and had a lot of injuries.
"I think this is the most important thing they have to think about. Because I am always focused that we have to be fit, fit, fit - otherwise we cannot use the players.
"They had a lot of problems and when that happens the manager suffers a lot.
"The squad is really good but the problem is when you cannot use them. This is a big disadvantage."
