🚨⚽Let’s tell ourselves the truth,You can’t compete with finished players, Players that their clubs rejected is the player you’re buying with Huge amount to compete with with us”, Pep Guardiola reveals the only wrong signing that Ten Hag have Made this summer

In a candid statement that has stirred reactions among football fans and pundits, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently commented on the quality of Manchester United’s summer signings under Erik ten Hag. Guardiola took a subtle dig at United, suggesting that they are spending significant amounts on players who have been rejected or considered surplus by their previous clubs. This, he implied, would make it difficult for United to truly compete at the highest level.

Guardiola pointed to United’s acquisition of players like Mason Mount from Chelsea and Andre Onana from Inter Milan, implying that these were not marquee players who had reached their peak. Specifically, he criticized one signing, suggesting that Ten Hag might have erred in bringing this particular player to Old Trafford. Although Guardiola did not name the player directly, speculation has been rife among football analysts that he could be referring to either Mount, who was allowed to leave Chelsea despite his potential, or Ugarte, whose impact is yet to be seen in the Premier League.

The comment highlights Guardiola’s confidence in City’s recruitment strategy, which focuses on acquiring players who are either already proven at the top level or show extraordinary potential to grow under his management. In contrast, he seemed to suggest that United’s approach, relying on players who were deemed dispensable by other clubs, might not be the best path to restoring their dominance.

These remarks from Guardiola have sparked debate, with some arguing that even so-called “rejected” players can thrive under the right management and system, while others feel that Manchester United need to aim higher if they are to compete with the likes of City, especially given the financial muscle and proven track record of success that City have built under Guardiola’s tenure.
