SHOCKING STATEMENT FROM PEP GUARDIOLA: “If United Don’t Want Him, Let Him Come to City – We’ll Show You the Magic!”
Pep Guardiola has fired shots at Manchester United’s manager Rúben Amorim in what many are calling a bold and unexpected move.
The Manchester City boss couldn’t stay silent after watching one Manchester United player deliver a stunning performance against Everton, yet still finds himself regularly warming the bench.
Guardiola, known for being a tactical genius and for spotting raw talent, reportedly said:
“If United don’t want him, let him come to Manchester City. We’ll show you the magic he can bring.”
That quote alone has sent shockwaves through the football world. Is Pep trying to make a point about poor player management? Or is this a calculated attempt to put pressure on Amorim – or even hint at a possible swoop for the player in question?
According to sources, Guardiola was blown away by the United player’s influence after coming off the bench. In just 20 minutes against Everton, the player:
Completed more successful dribbles than any other player in the match,
Created two major scoring chances,
Had the best final third pass accuracy,
And won a clear penalty call that many say should’ve gone to VAR.
Fans were equally stunned and frustrated. After watching their team struggle creatively in recent weeks, this performance felt like the spark they’d been missing.
Yet, despite his obvious impact, the player was left out of the starting lineup once again in the next match.
“He actually plays with pride and hunger,” one fan posted on X. “He should be starting every week, no excuses.”
While Guardiola hasn’t officially named the player, insiders are convinced he was referring to one of United’s most undervalued attackers — someone who’s been fighting for minutes despite delivering when called upon.
Some believe Pep’s comments are nothing more than clever mind games — a way to stir trouble at Old Trafford.
But others suggest City have been monitoring the player for some time, and this could be the beginning of a serious move. A former Premier League analyst even stated:
“He’d thrive under Pep. He’s got the creativity, energy, and vision that Guardiola loves.”
United fans, meanwhile, are growing increasingly frustrated with the situation. Many are comparing it to the Jadon Sancho fallout — another example of a talented player mishandled and eventually pushed out.
