I'm delighted we are in discussions with him, but I don't see any reason for surprise. Of course Manchester United would want to meet him. The bigger issue is what sales pitch we can give him to beat Manchester City.
I can think of 4 discriminating reasons:
1. We are a genuinely iconic global brand that would be befitting for a man with his CV. His business card with a Manchester United logo is far more prestigious than having Manchester City on it!
2. He opportunity to cement himself into our footballing history if he can solve our current crisis and be the man who was successful after SAF.
3. He will have full authority on all footballing matters including transfers and footballing staff appointments.
4. We would be delighted if he stayed for a decade, even if he does not intend to.
The only negative I can think of is that we are still a work in progress and need to make several leaps before we become champions of England and Europe Gain. It's more of a risk for him than City
The 3 strong reasons City have are
1. He can be the man who made City into an all conquering global force.
2. already have a world class squad.
3. Guarantee the largest transfer budget in the Premier League.
The negatives are:
- low global respect and fane base
- significantly less control
I'm one of those who think his achievements are vastly over-rated as he has only worked in a duopoly and monopoly leagues and inherited world class squads with all the work done for him. I know others diagaree but if he took the United job and succeeded, he would convince all the people like me who doubted his true capability.
If Guardiola wants an easy life he'll take City. However if he wants to be considered amongst the top football men in all history, he has to take the United job. I suspect we'll have to make him to most highly paid football manager in history to help convice him!

It could well be a ploy to get LVG to leave of his own accord.

Nothing. That is their default mode to rumours that they believe can engorge their standing as a club.

Of course they denied it, otherwise when he turns up at our place it will look like he had a choice and chose little old us over "The Greatest Football Club in the Universe"
