Manchester United send cheeky Julia Roberts tweet after Pep Guardiola comments

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United have poked fun at Pep Guardiola following comments made by the Manchester City manager about the American actress Julia Roberts after their Champions League victory over RB Leipzig.

City putting seven goals past the German side in Manchester on Tuesday night and Erling Haaland helping himself to five to break yet more records in the competition was not enough to satisfy the Catalan coach on the night.

While his side may have again progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals and are favourites to win it for the first time, the boss was clear he already considers himself to have failed for an entirely different reason.

Guardiola admitted that Julia Roberts, whom he professed is one of his three idols, attending Old Trafford for a Premier League match against West Ham United and not paying a similar visit to City approaching seven years ago continues to eat away at him.
