As he gets ready to face Manchester United this weekend, Pep Guardiola has issued a witty response to Facundo Pellistri.
Pellistri had earlier taken a brutal swipe at Manchester City, with the Uruguayan stating categorically that Manchester was red and City fans were fewer in the city. The winger also talked about going about the city and only seeing red jerseys everywhere. Guardiola responded dismissively to the suggestions.
Speaking to Uruguayan radio station Carve Deportiva, Pellistri stated [via Daily Express]: “Manchester is all about United. You don’t see City shirts or flags. Sometimes, with my girlfriend, we go out and say ‘let’s try to find one’ and we don’t see them.”
