The Manchester City manager insisted he would join his rival for the
post-match tradition if invited, but the pair’s other commitments got in
the way
Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho were too busy to have a drink after Manchester City beat Manchester United in Saturday’s derby.
The City manager insisted ahead of the game that would join his counterpart for the post-match tradition if invited but the meet failed to materialise due to other commitments.
Speaking ahead of City’s Champions League group game against Borussia Monchengladbach, Guardiola told reporters: “No. We had a lot of things to do after the game. We have no time.”
Guardiola has insisted the reported bad blood between himself and the United manager is played up in the media, adding he respects Mourinho.
“I have said many times I have a lot of respect for him,” Guardiola said last week. “I always try to learn from all my colleagues and opponents and I learn from him as well.”
