Manchester City will pay their respect to Sir Bobby Charlton

Manchester City will pay their respect to Manchester United and England legend Sir Bobby Charlton at Sunday’s derby at Old Trafford says Pep Guardiola. The pre-game build-up has been marred by a video of 5 young Manchester City fans singing songs about the death of the football icon. Two fans have subsequently been banned from attending matches and one charged by police following the video.

When asked about that in his pre-game press conference and City’s intention to honour the England and Manchester United legend and of the video from earlier in the week Pep Guardiola said: “They don’t represent us. Alcohol makes bad things in people. Mike Summerbee going to Old Trafford to sign the book represents us. We have huge respect to Manchester United and we prove it, losing or winning. We have a lot of respect, especially for an iconic figure like Sir Bobby Charlton. Tomorrow we will be part of that. We send our condolences to United and English football.” Pep Guardiola also signed the book of condolence for Sir Bobby Charlton.
