They said that Manchester is full of Red Devils shirts, Guardiola's funny response

Prior to the match between Manchester United and Manchester City, there is a lot of expectation regarding everything that is expected from both clubs. The Manchester derby is one of the most important clubs at the moment. Pep Guardiola's English team are certainly favorites for this match considering what he has achieved in recent years. However, there is a historical rivalry that makes this duel difficult to predict. Both clubs arrive with the obligation to score important points so as not to lose the rhythm of Liverpool and Tottenham, who have started strongly.

There is little doubt about what both clubs represent in the city. However, for Facundo Pellistri, Manchester belongs to Manchester United. In dialogue with Martín Charquero, an eastern journalist, the winger who emerged from Peñarol was consulted about the city classic and assured: “Manchester is all about United. You don't see City shirts or flags." For many, history weighs heavily, and in Manchester United we find one of the most successful clubs in history.

After this comment, Pep Guardiola was asked at a press conference what he really thought about it. Pep Guardiola on Facundo Pellistri's comments: "I will speak with the Puma department, and ask, 'What happened? Why we don't have shirts [in Manchester]?'". An ironic response that suggests that the coach does not give such importance to these types of comments and that everything will end up being talked about on the field.

Will Pellistri leave Manchester United?

Despite rumors of a possible loan departure before the start of the current campaign, the Uruguayan remained in the squad and is fighting for a starting position under the command of Erik ten Hag. The Uruguayan player is a future project for the Manchester team, which is why they are taking important care of him this season. Under this context, the team is positioned in a great way to support the footballer and help him grow as a footballer in one of the biggest clubs in the world.
