Pep Guardiola agrees with Mourinho's classless comment

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola claims he agrees with Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho that the club "cannot buy class".

Mourinho made some pointed references towards City when asked about the new fly-on-the-wall documentary about the Premier League champions that was released by Amazon this week.

Guardiola, however, insists that 'buying class' is not something City were attempting to do in the project.

Speaking after his side's 6-1 thrashing of Huddersfield yesterday, Guardiola said: "That is true, you cannot buy class. I agree with Jose. We cannot buy class.

The United manager also said "you don't need to be disrespectful to have a fantastic movie" when asked to give his thoughts on the programme.
Mourinho was presumably referring to coverage of both himself and United in the series.

"I think we lived an amazing season with cameras. We did it for ourselves. I don't agree with Jose in terms of disrespectful. This was not our intention - it was filming last season.

"It is a club trying to grow, trying to win titles. We did it for ourselves and our fans to see what happens inside the locker room. It is Jose's opinion. Other guys will say, 'We like' and other guys will say, 'No'."

City were devastating as they put Huddersfield to the sword at the Etihad Stadium. Sergio Aguero scored his 13th hat-trick for the club, while Gabriel Jesus and the inspirational David Silva also got on the scoresheet. The sixth goal was an own goal by Terence Kongolo.

Guardiola said: "Today was much better in terms of football and consistency during 90 minutes. Against Chelsea and Arsenal we survived more than playing good. Today, attacking 10 players in the box, I think we did it quite well."

Whereas, Mourinho led Manchester United slumped to a rampant Brighton and Hove Albion side by 3 goals to 1. This indicates the Portuguese should rather focus on regaining the lost glory of the once fierce Red devil who used to be the pride of Manchester.
