If Man City always say that they are the real Manchester team?

Question

then why when the two cities of Manchester and Liverpool hate each other, then the biggest rivalry is between United (the supposed lesser Manchester team) and Liverpool/Everton?

Answer 1

Manchester City fans say they support the real Manchester team, because they're stadium/council house, is actually based in Manchester. Whereas Old Trafford/Theatre of Dreams, is technically in Salford (which is a part of Greater Manchester but not the city of Manchester). Also when "Manchester United" were founded they were originally called Newton Heath.
The rivallry you mention is because Manchester City arent a big enough/successful enough club to have any rivallries outside they're derby game/cupfinal haha. The latter part of my answer possibly hints at which team i chose to support.

Answer 2

Because Manchester united is a better team and both have beaten each other over the years. Liverpool fans regard man city as a joke however man utd are a better team and more likely to beat Liverpool therefore there is more rivalry.

If there was no Manchester UTD Then there would be no Man city because somewhere in the start of the 20th century Manchester city rented there grounds from Man UTD.I know that because I have a book all about the start to the present day of Manchester UTD.
