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"[emoji769]

Its not surprising that he will meet representatives from different clubs. Its a win win situation meeting with all the clubs. The clubs feel they are in with a shout and pep gets his ego stroked for the evening.
I expect him to meet with many other clubs.If he doesnt then it will be clear that City is a done deal and that is unfair on Pelligrini.

MANUre denying they met with him. Well, we know what lying bastards they are, don't we! Don't fall for the RagSchmooze, Pep, come where Catalan is the mother tongue - Beswick!!

To say that Pep is a thorough man who assesses every option before committing to anything is an understatement.
I would be utterly amazed if he hasn't spoken to reps from United and Chelsea.
Move on. Very little to see here.

If politely saying 'no thanks I'm not interested, I'm going to be managing at the Etihad next season', is speaking to the rags and Chelsea, then yes he probably has. ;)
