Pep Guardiola Labelled 'Cheat Code Manager' After 'Five Minutes' Comment In Pre-Match Interview

"They have played like this with Fernandes as holding midfield, or maybe 4-4-2 diamond. The shape, the intention they want to do. They can play with the wingers as Bruno and Pogba and come inside. We will see after five minutes."

Just look at that mischievous smile after saying we would all see after five minutes.

One Twitter user reacted to the clip by saying: "Man saw it coming from the press room," while another commented: "He's so good he can even predict when City will score."

But the prolific De Bruyne scored his brace to give City a deserved lead at the half-time break.

"Every game is different. United are always a tough opponent. Being upfront in the table or tight or behind, always a tough game in the previous seasons.

"Counter attacks, with Ralf maybe different if Cristiano doesn't play because they'll be more aggressive for the philosophy he has."

Thoughts on that first-half at the Etihad?
