The agent of Bayern Munich’s master tactician Pep Guardiola has handed Manchester United a huge boost in their pursuit for the Spaniard’s signature by confirming that he could be headed to the Premier League. United are in dire need of a master tactician to take the club back to its glory years after a disappointing spell with former Everton manager David Moyes and currently, Louis Van Gaal.
The Red Devils have registered a series of poor results this season, something that has promoted their fans to call for Van Gaal’s sacking and if the latest reports from England are true, the Dutch tactician could be fired after today’s game against Chelsea.
Spanish publication L’Equipe (via AS) quotes Pep’s agent as saying:
“In any case, it’s not something that we are considering at the moment. The Premier League is a big possibility. Pep will make a decision in two or three months’ time. Everything remains a possibility, including a sabbatical year.”
United have endured a seven-game winless run in all competitions this season and Pep has been earmarked as the right man to restore their lost glory. If Van Gaal loses today’s game, it could pave way for Pep’s arrival after quitting Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
However, the North Western club knows very well that their rivals Manchester City are also eyeing the former Barcelona man to replace Manuel Pellegrini.
