Pep Guardiola warns his players of this Manchester United star

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Man United’s captain Bruno Fernandes ahead of the Manchester derby.

Guardiola said he believes the Portuguese star can cause major problems for his team at any moment.

“He is an exceptional player,” Guardiola said of Bruno Fernandes.

“Especially the consistency to play in every single game and in every single competition.

“I admire him a lot for that. He is a guy that when he has the ball, something is going to happen. In set pieces, in connections with players up front with [Alejandro] Garnacho, with Rashford, all the strikers they have up there.

“What can I say, he is a really, really important player.”

Asked if his side will be working specifically to nullify Fernandes’ threat, Guardiola added: “Of course, it always has to be like that. Always he can be creating something.”

Pep Guardiola was also asked if Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw would be the only United players he would take in his City squad.

He responded: “That is football fantasy. I don’t like it.”
