Guardiola belittled him and would leave the club to play with Ten Hag at Manchester United

Pep Guardiola has always been characterized as a special coach in many ways. The Spanish coach rarely forgives attitudes that he does not like, or even, even though there are no negative attitudes, if a player does not convince him, he stops taking them into account. This has happened to a player who arrived as a star at Manchester City and now, he is on the verge of leaving and could play with Ten Hag at Manchester United.

Peter Schmeichel, Owen Hargreaves, Carlos Tévez or Andy Cole. Great players who defended the shirts of the two great teams in Manchester: City and United. Although the Red Devils were the rivals to beat during the end of the last century and the beginning of this one, the tables have turned in favor of the citizens.

Now, Manchester United is looking to get rid of Manchester City. As The Sun reports, Erik ten Hag's men are not losing sight of the situation of Kalvin Phillips, a €49 million signing that has not worked out for Pep Guardiola's men. The English midfielder is a player of undeniable quality, but he must return to his best physical condition to shine as he did at Leeds United at the time, where he fell in love with everyone in England.

Manchester United's offer agreed for summer

Phillips, who arrived in 2022, barely has 22 appearances for City. A situation that drives his departure, especially considering that we are in a Euro Cup year. In that sense, several teams, such as Newcastle, had been positioned to acquire his services during the winter market. But in the case of MU, the signing would be for next season. In that sense, Erik ten Hag, who is a big fan of Phillips' game, would wait until the summer market to make an offer for the British international.
