Pep Guardiola has dismissed suggestions that Man Utd would have bought some Bayern players as they were also linked with moves for Bastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen
Robben and Thomas Muller but the Spanish coach says they were quickly
told there would be no deals.
Continue to see what Pep said....
"[United] didn't have enough money," he told reporters. "I saw they
spent a lot of money. It’s good for my friend Louis. It’s part of the
game.
"All of the clubs in the world want the players of another club. It
depends on the player. If the player wants to play he will play. If he
wants to stay he will stay."
"[Their decline] is a good lesson for the big clubs. They think: ‘We
are unbeatable and strong’ and they are not here. Maybe the next season
they are out.
"That’s why football is magnificent: every single week you have to be ready. Every week you have got to show you are ready."
Turning his attention to his side's first Champions League match with
Manchester City, Guardiola stressed winning the opening game is very
important.
"The first game is important to set the tone for the group. It's a
tough group and to start with three points is much better but we are
going to focus on our style, our game and what we have to do to beat
them and play as well as possible."
The coach then revealed that Arjen Robben is fit enough to be
included in the squad, but Franck Ribery is still injured, while he
maintains new signing Mehdi Benatia is still settling into the team.
"Arjen is here, Franck isn't. He is at home. Franck went to the doctor and they told me he can't play.
"We are giving Mehdi time, I am very pleased with his attitude and
his character, but we have to see how his situation evolves. He came
from Roma here with little training and was injured, but it gets better
every day."
