The Manchester City manager, the Spanish Pep Guardiola, criticized the decision to validate that draw, won by the local team in the 33rd minute of the second half.

“Rashford is offside and Bruno Fernandes is not. But Rashford intervened in the game and distracted our goalkeeper and defenders. It’s who he is. It’s not a legal target“, explained the Catalan.

In the first place, the line canceled Fernandes’ goal. But the locals protested and the referee, without the intervention of the VAR, subsequently validated. “We know where we play and it’s difficult for referees in these stadiums” Guardiola said.

However, DT was satisfied with the match made by its players. “We controlled the transitions in the second half much better and stopped Rashford and the fast players better than him. We had the right spirit to do it. But the time between the first and second goal was too close“, He complained.

Also, he praised United for winning their last five games. “United are now playing as they always have throughout their history. I already said that months ago. They are back,” he underlined.

Finally, he did not regret losing a key duel in his title fight with leaders Arsenal. “I’m not interested in the Premier League or the Carabao Cup (where it was removed as of this week). We can’t win. I don’t care because we won a lot. So that’s not a problem,” she concluded.
