Pep Guardiola jokes that Manchester United fans should join in the celebrations if Manchester City win Premier League title ahead of Liverpool

Pep Guardiola has cheekily invited Manchester United fans to join in the celebrations if Manchester City win the Premier League title on Sunday and deny Liverpool a historic Quadruple.

Guardiola, who recently claimed the country wanted Liverpool to win the league, has been astonished to find out United supporters are actually rooting for City to beat Aston Villa at the Etihad in order to be champions.

United don’t want their bitter rivals Liverpool to equal United’s record 20 league championships and go on to surpass Sir Alex Ferguson’s 1999 Treble — so supporting City is regarded as a lesser evil.
