“I Want to Sign You and Make You the Best” – Neymar Recalls Guardiola’s Offer

Neymar has shared an interesting story about how Pep Guardiola once tried to sign him for Bayern Munich and even made a bold promise to him.
The Brazilian forward revealed that after winning the Puskás Award, he was nearly convinced to move to the Bundesliga because of Guardiola’s influence.
“I almost went to Bayern because of Pep Guardiola. After I won the Puskás Award, my dad kept calling me at 2 AM. When I finally answered, he told me to open the door. I was in my boxers,” Neymar recalled.
To his surprise, his father was standing there with Guardiola and a translator. The legendary coach wasted no time and got straight to the point.
“Pep told me, ‘I want to sign you and take you with me wherever I go. I will make you the best player in the world,’” Neymar said.
Guardiola even brought a laptop, showing Neymar exactly where he would fit into his plans. Then he added a humorous challenge: “If you don’t score 60 goals in a season, I’ll change my name.”
At that moment, Neymar was intrigued but still uncertain. When he asked which club Guardiola was talking about, Pep couldn’t reveal it yet.
“I convinced him to tell me, and he finally said, ‘I’m signing with Bayern. I know it’s a cold city, but I’ll take care of you.’”
In the end, Neymar chose Barcelona instead, a decision that shaped his career. Since then, he has played for PSG and now Al-Hilal.

Man City Manager Pep Guardiola: Nunes Not Ready for Midfield Role

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola states that Footballer Matheus Nunes needs improvement as he is not fitting for a midfielder.
During a brief exchange with the reporters the manager speaks on Nunes stating “He can become a good right-back due to his physicality.”
“I think he’s not a player suited to midfield because he’s not clever enough in terms of composure, but he has incredible skills and is learning a lot.”
The biggest mistake for full-backs is when they don’t react to crosses to the far post, they are often caught out.
“But he defended really well against two or three crosses, such as when Bruno put one into the far post for Dorgu.”
“He has the awareness and physicality to perform in that role, so he can play there and help us a lot.”

Scholes Fears Man United Could Sell Mainoo and Garnacho This Summer

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has raised concerns that the club could be forced to sell two of its brightest young stars — Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho — during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Scholes shared his thoughts following United’s goalless draw with Manchester City. He expresses doubts about the club’s financial strength to bring in the quality players needed to improve the squad.
Scholes questioned whether there’s enough money to make necessary signings. He said especially after co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent interviews, which hinted at financial strain within the club.
“It doesn’t feel like the manager will be handed a large budget,” Scholes said. “I have a feeling they might end up selling Mainoo and Garnacho. It would be a tough one to accept, especially Mainoo, who’s been at United since he was a kid.”
Scholes also pointed out that the lack of funds could be a major issue heading into the summer. Also, he noted that Ratcliffe had already mentioned the club was nearly out of cash before implementing cost-cutting strategies.

Amorim Responds to Neville’s Criticism of United’s Draw with Manchester City

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim responded to Gary Neville’s criticism following his team’s goalless draw with Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Although Manchester City dominated possession, neither side seemed particularly eager to claim all three points, resulting in a disappointing 0-0 draw.
Neville, a Manchester United legend, expressed his frustration with the performance, criticizing both teams for their lack of spontaneity and overemphasis on tactical shape. On Sky Sports, he commented, “They’re all so obsessed with shape… nothing off-the-cuff is happening in lots of games… This has got to stop…”
When asked about Neville’s remarks in a post-match interview, Amorim gave a calm response, saying, “I understand. I understand that Gary Neville is critical of everything!”
The draw left Manchester City in fifth place, still behind Chelsea, who also played out a 0-0 draw with Brentford earlier in the day. Meanwhile, United remained in 13th place, with 38 points from 31 matches, with just seven games remaining in the season.
