Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, extended congratulations to Manchester United for appointing Omar Berrada as their new CEO.

Berrada made the shock move from Manchester City to neighbours and bitter rivals Manchester United last week to become CEO, and City boss Pep Guardiola has sent hearty congratulations to the Red Devils.

Guardiola, who has worked under several directors and CEO's in his career, knows the effect of a credible board on a team but stressed a lack of concern for what Berrada could potentially bring to Old Trafford.

Speaking on the possibility of Berrada bringing City’s secrets to United, Guardiola said at his pre-match press conference ahead of his side’s FA Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Friday night:

“Yeah but Kevin De Bruyne is still at Man City, Erling Haaland will play here too. 

“I’m not sure it is that easy. But if United thinks with this person [Omar] everything is going to change, congratulations!”

Man City are in action against Fulham in the FA Cup 4th round on Friday night.
