A mural to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in the shadow of the Etihad has been vandalised again in the build up to the Manchester derby. The mural on 63-year-old Lesley Kelly's house was vandalised hours after its unveiling last week (September 22) with red paint and 'MUFC' scrawled over the artwork.
It City and United prepare to face each other at the Etihad this afternoon. Those making their way to the ground condemned the 'mindlessness' of the vandalism. "Why would you do that to somebody's house right next to the ground?," one asked.
Lesley is using the mural as a way to raise awareness and money for charities on match days. Today, she was collecting for and handing out leaflets for Papyrus who work to raise awareness and prevent suicide among young people, something close to her heart as she lost a son-in-law to suicide six years ago.
