Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola echoed Jurgen Klopp’s feelings on the mooted Premier League All-Star match proposed by Todd Boehly.

Top flight managers have voiced criticism of the idea, floated by the Chelsea owner at a conference in New York.

Klopp’s views on a north versus south exhibition were strident and centred on the lack of time in football’s hectic calendar.

‘I don’t have an opinion on that, not at all,’ Guardiola said before adding: ‘I’m with Jurgen, it’d be nice if they gave us a date when we should play.
