If the battle between Manchester United and Manchester City wasn't hot enough, Pep Guardiola dropped a bombshell during his pre-match presser that will infuriate some of Man Utd's fans...and Jose Mourinho as well.
The Spanish boss aimed a dig at super agent Mino Raiola while included Paul Pogba in the mix. Raiola has been overly critic of Guardiola due to the Catalan boss' complicated relationship with Zlatan Ibrahimovic (another client of the Italian agent), and today's answer can be seen as a direct attack to the agent's credibility.
Shockingly, Guardiola revealed that Raiola offered him the chance to lure Paul Pogba away from Old Trafford back in January, especially since the relationship between Mourinho and the French took an ugly turn this season.
"Two months ago he (Raiola) offered me (Henrikh) Mhikitaryan and Pogba to play with us. Why? He was interested in Mhikitaryan and Pogba to play with us. Pogba is an incredible player. A top, top player," Guardiola said.
Pep's words come in a moment where the relationship between Mourinho and the agent is not on its best terms.
