Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola apologises to Manchester United fan for how difficult supporting Manchester United must be
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola jokingly apologised to a Manchester United-supporting journalist for how difficult it must be to be a Manchester United fan.
Following Manchester City’s 5-0 victory over Newcastle United on Sunday which saw Guardiola’s side move three points clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table, Guardiola complained about the whole nation ‘supporting Liverpool’ during his post-match interview.
Guardiola jokingly suggested that one of the journalists in his press conference supported Liverpool, before he was quickly corrected by the reporter.
Guardiola was asked if he was ‘ecstatic’ with City’s performance against the Magpies, before the former Barcelona boss replied with a smile on his face: “Did you have doubts? Yes, you are a Liverpool fan. Come on.”
The journalist corrected Guardiola that he supports Liverpool’s great rivals Manchester United, which led to a number of laughs inside the room.
The City boss was quick to respond with a witty comment, replying: “I’m sorry, James.”
Manchester United have endured a difficult season and will not play Champions League football next season following Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at Brighton.
The Red Devils also lost 9-0 across two legs to our great rivals Manchester United and indeed it’s been a difficult season for every Manchester United fan.
