BREAKING NEWS:‼️Pep Guardiola has reportedly delivered a brutal verdict on one of Manchester United’s biggest signings, claiming the player is “a complete waste of money” and warning that the £77 million addition could drag the Red Devils into chaos if things do not change quickly.
The Manchester City boss, known for his sharp footballing insights, did not hold back as he questioned the logic behind United’s recruitment strategy.
“Quote me wrong anywhere—this player is not what they needed. Spending £77 million on him was a really poor decision, and if care is not taken, he could be part of the reason they fight near the bottom,” Guardiola allegedly said. His comments come at a time when pressure is already mounting on United’s squad after a mixed start to the campaign.
United’s spending under Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been scrutinized, with many pointing out that the club has often prioritized big-name signings over long-term squad balance. Guardiola’s remarks appear to echo what many pundits and rival fans have argued: that United’s transfer business lacks cohesion and planning. While he did not mention the player by name in the leaked statement, speculation immediately spread across social media, with fans debating whether the comments were directed at a new attacking signing or a defensive reinforcement who has yet to settle.
Regardless of the target, Guardiola’s words are likely to sting United supporters, especially given his record of developing talent and turning even modest signings into world-class performers at City. If United’s £77M man fails to justify his price tag, it will only fuel talk that Pep was right all along.
The coming months will prove whether this controversial statement is mere mind games or a prophetic warning.
