German TV say Pep Guardiola is going to City but United fans want him and they want him now

The chase is on

A quick Twitter search for Pep Guardiola will tell you everything you need to know.

United want him. City might get him.

“Guardiola leaves FC Bayern at the end of the season to become manager of Man City. Guardiola’s successor will be Carlo Ancelotti.”

The Bayern Munich manager looks set to leave Germany and speculation is rife as to his next destination.

The two-time Champions League winning coach said he would give an insight into his future after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Hannover and the chase is on to court the Spaniard in the direction of just about every Premier League side you can think of.

But, afterwards, he moved the goalposts and told journalists who asked him, “Tomorrow. Tomorrow,” the Manchester Evening News reported.

It means that Sunday could now be the new date for Guardiola to decide his next club.

And United fans aren’t playing coy and they certainly have long since skipped the whole hard-to-get nonsense with time not on their side. Especially with news of their neighbours’ apparent interest from across the city.

The Old Trafford crowd wants Pep and they want him bad.

Defensive shenanigans saw another three points drop for United on Saturday Louis van Gaal is feeling it from all corners of Manchester. So, too, is Guardiola.

Ryan Giggs will start to feel used at this rate.

We just can’t keep up.
