Pep Guardiola warned that Manchester United hiring Omar Berrada from Manchester City won’t automatically make them dominant again. Despite losing Berrada, who played a role in signing players like Erling Haaland, Guardiola emphasized City’s strength over United noting that United’s attempts to lure Haaland or Kevin De Bruyne have failed.

Guardiola wished Berrada well but questioned whether his move would change everything for United. He also responded to UEFA’s president, Aleksandar Ceferin stating that Ceferin should respect the legal process regarding City’s financial fair play charges. Guardiola affirmed that City will move forward despite Berrada’s departure, learning from the experience and defended the club’s right to defend itself against accusations.
