Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has expressed his congratulations to Manchester United for naming Omar Berrada as their new CEO. Guardiola’s remarks come amid concerns about Berrada potentially bringing Manchester City’s secrets to their Premier League rivals, Manchester United.
Omar Berrada’s unexpected move from Manchester City to become the CEO of Manchester United has sparked questions about the possibility of sensitive information being transferred between the two clubs. Guardiola addressed this issue during his pre-match press conference ahead of Manchester City’s FA Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Friday night.
When asked about the potential of Berrada sharing City’s secrets with United, Guardiola responded with a touch of humor, saying, “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!”
Guardiola’s lighthearted yet pointed response reflects the intrigue surrounding Berrada’s transition and its implications for the dynamics between the two Manchester clubs.
The appointment of Omar Berrada as CEO could potentially signal a new chapter in Manchester United’s operations, and Guardiola’s reaction underscores the significance of this development within the English Premier League.
