A Pep Guardiola mural near City's Etihad stadium has been restored after it was defaced with 'MUFC' graffiti hours after being unveiled. The artwork was 'mindlessly vandalised' following three days of hard work by artist Mr Meana.
"As street artists, we're used to our work being temporary, but we feel so bad for the fans," he said as he set about fixing the mural on the side of a Beswick house in the shadow of the Blues' home.
The artwork, created by Murwalls, saw people queuing on Ashton New Road to see it. However, around 10.30pm on Wednesday, black and white paint was thrown onto the wall, with 'MUFC' sprayed with green paint.
