A word from Pep Guardiola ...
BBC reporter Kelly Somers is tasked with prising some post-match soundbites from the losing manager and it’s a difficult interview despite her heroic efforts.
She asks him where he thinks it went wrong and is greeted with an exaggerated shoulder-shrug. “Went wrong?” he repeats. “We lost the game and congratulations Man United. It was a tight game and after we concede a goal and in the second half, after the first five or 10 minutes we had the chances and we change our pace up front … mumble, mumble, mumble … and congratulations to Man United.”
Asked if he feels United were the better team, he shakes his head and says “No.” He goes on to explain that it was simply a case of City not taking their chances.

Ten Hag doesn't know if he is being sacked
Asked if he thinks he’s been treated unfairly by the media, Ten Hag says to Gary Lineker: “I think so, the team as well. It was not right.”
Alan Shearer interjects to say that United have rarely been as good as they were today and often deserved whatever criticism came their way. “You are right but we didn’t have the players,” comes the riposte. “It was not always good football, definitely not, but if you don’t have the players you can’t play the football you want to play.”
Is it his last game in charge of United? “I don’t know,” he says. “The only thing I am doing is training my team, preparing my team, developing my team because this is for me a project. When I came in, I can say it was a mess and we are now better but we are by far not where we want to be.”
