The football world has been buzzing with the news that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is set to make a shocking move to Manchester United this summer, replacing Erik ten Hag. Guardiola, who has been with City for eight years, was initially expected to see out his contract which expires at the end of next season. However, it seems that the allure of joining United and waking a sleeping giant was too much for him to resist.
The catalyst for Guardiola’s decision to move to United is believed to be the poaching of City’s Chief of Football Operations, Omar Berrada, by the Red Devils. The strong working relationship between Guardiola and Berrada at City likely played a role in convincing Guardiola to make the controversial move across Manchester.
The shock departure of Guardiola has sparked rumors that several of City’s top players, including Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, Rodri, and Phil Foden, could follow him to Old Trafford. The players are said to be enticed by the opportunity to play at the famous Theatre of Dreams and experience the passionate atmosphere created by the demanding fans under its leaky roof.
In response to Guardiola’s departure, City are reportedly considering hiring former Chelsea boss Graham Potter as their next manager. Guardiola has previously praised Potter’s coaching abilities, although some speculate that the City boss may have been sarcastic in his praise. The City board is now faced with the decision of whether to appoint Potter or pursue other options.
However, the entire story is nothing more than an April Fool’s joke. So, while the idea of Guardiola joining United and City losing their star players may be entertaining, it is all in good fun. Remember not to believe everything you read on the internet and enjoy your day!
