Pep Guardiola slams Man Utd fans over ‘shameful’ Phil Foden and cheating b*stards chants

Pep Guardiola slams Man Utd fans over the ‘shameful’ Phil Foden and cheating b*stards chants sang during the Manchester derby on Sunday.

The Man City boss expressed strong disapproval of Manchester United fans, who directed offensive chants at Manchester City’s Phil Foden during a goalless draw at Old Trafford.

Guardiola specifically condemned the chants targeting Foden’s mother, calling them a “lack of class” and stating that those responsible “should be ashamed.”

Man Utd fans also called Man City “cheating b*stards” before and during the game, with Pep reacting to that as he went down the tunnel…

“It’s a lack of class,” Pep Guardiola said.

“But it’s not United, it’s people. We are so exposed, the people who are on the screen of world football.

“Managers, owners and football players especially, honestly I don’t understand the mind of the people.

“It’s a lack of integrity, class and they should be ashamed. It happens everywhere, not just in the UK.”

On the game: “With the pace they have with Garnacho, with Dalot they link really well. They link inside. They know perfectly what they have to do.

“So it’s a good team, but we take the point. So we have got to be better to win.

“We know all the time against 5-4-1, is always difficult. They defend narrow here. Since many, many years, I’m playing against 5-4-1, defence in deep. So it’s not new and always, we were able to do it all the quality of the players, the talent to do it.

“But this is an extra that I cannot expect because they can play badly. They try, but we are not good enough you know to hurt them or punish them a little bit more.”

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim: “We were closer to scoring a goal, they had more possession but that is normal.

“Every player can improve. They are here because they showed something at other clubs. They have the quality. We are a team more dangerous in transition but we need to spend more time in the final third to create opportunities.

“I can see it. The connections. The players are more comfortable in the positions. We can find players between the lines and are calm with the ball. We are better but we have a lot to improve.

“I’m not naive or crazy. I understand looking at the opponents there is a big gap but as a leader I can’t say we’re going to take a lot of time. You have to feel urgency, to hurry to do something better. At a club like ours you don’t have a lot of time. We are in a rush, that is clear.

“Both teams aren’t fighting for the title – that changed the game. You can make a funny game but that feeling of not losing a point and winning every game at home is not here. It’s hard to say that. We need to fight for big things. If we were fighting for big things the feeling would be completely different. You’d feel the urgency that you didn’t feel today because both teams have lots of doubts.”

The result leaves City are 5th in the Premier League table with 52 points from 31 games and a point behind 4th place Chelsea, United are 13th with 38 points from 31 games played.

@Sebmeister: That’s not nice. That’s classless from a bunch of idiots. There’s banter and then there’s this. Absolute pricks dragging family members into their chants. I hate people like that.

@tom_stone1: If you go the match and think its normal to chant about someones Mum you need to understand that the rest of the world thinks youre a fuckin mong

@GenerationX1970: Mindless morons. It says more about how standards of behaviour are in the gutter and what a pathetic society we have become.

@eyup_io: Aye, shameful it is! There’s enough daftness in football without bringing family into it—let’s keep the banter on the pitch, not at the expense of kids.

@Neil_Roby: Well said Pep, this is sport – no place for this kind of awful abuse

@JohnnyH1857: He’s right. Same applies to the idiots in our fanbase who chant it. Scumbags.

@DomFarrell1986: “Phil Foden, your mum is a slag” just isn’t great stuff in a football ground in 2025, lads. Grow up.

@n_riddell: Not funny. I hope – as a United fan – that the club apologises to Foden, absolutely no need.
