Pep Guardiola sends Man United cheeky invite

With City having one hand on the Premier League title, Guardiola has sent Man United fans a cheeky invite, asking them to join them in celebrations.

According to the Daily Mail, Guardiola extended the invitation to United supporters after he found out that a huge number of the Red Devils faithful is rooting for City to win the league ahead of Liverpool.

The publication claims that United fans don’t want their bitter rivals, Liverpool, to equal the Red Devils' record of 20 league championships and so supporting City is regarded as a lesser evil.

"So United likes City more than Liverpool? Oh my God, I didn’t know it," admitted Guardiola.

"Welcome to United fans if they want to join us in the streets but they have to wear the blue shirts, they have to wear it," he added.
