Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, made a cheeky remark about Manchester United’s spending in a press conference following the Red Devils’ victory in the Carabao Cup on Sunday against Newcastle United.
Guardiola, known for his witty remarks and dry sense of humor, was asked about Manchester United’s recent success in the cup competition.
The remark was a clear dig at Manchester United’s recent spending spree, which has seen the club bring in high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and Raphael Varane, Antony over the last few transfer windows. Guardiola’s comment also highlights the financial power of Manchester City, who have historically been one of the biggest spenders in world football.
Despite the lighthearted nature of Guardiola’s comment, it’s clear that there is a competitive edge to the rivalry between the two Manchester clubs. Manchester City and Manchester United have been the dominant forces in English football over the last decade, with both clubs winning multiple Premier League titles and competing at the highest level in Europe.
