Manchester Derby: Pep Guardiola reveals secret meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson about Manchester United
Read Time:1 Minute, 5 Second
Pep Guardiola has lifted the lid on a secret meeting he had with Sir Alex Ferguson about the possibility of joining Manchester United. The meeting took place at a New York restaurant in 2012 during Guardiola’s 12-month break after quitting Barcelona. Ferguson has since revealed that he asked Guardiola to contact him before he took another managerial role, but the former Barca boss ended up making the move to Bayern Munich in 2013. ‘My English is that period was not as good as it is right now, and so maybe I just didn’t understand what Sir Alex told me,’ Guardiola said ahead of Manchester City’s clash with United on Sunday.
‘We met in a magnificent restaurant for dinner and I think he has said he suggested to me something about going to Old Trafford. ‘But I really don’t remember that. We spoke about life, about football, about the Premier League, I remember. ‘But there was no message sent to me under the table about United. I think I would remember that. ‘It was just two friends, two colleagues in football, talking about many, many things.
