Pair go head-to-head in explosive Old Trafford clash - but
finally buried the hatchet in front of stunned Prem bosses.
JOSE MOURINHO and Pep Guardiola have buried the hatchet
before today’s explosive Manchester derby.
Mourinho said: “The fight between Kell Brook and that big
guy is the story — it’s not us. It’s not me against him, it’s United against
City.”
SunSport can reveal the pair decided to end their bitter
eight-year feud with a handshake at a Premier League meeting — stunning rival
bosses.
A Premier League source said: “Everybody was expecting
fireworks but instead they shook hands and agreed to put the past behind them.
“I doubt they’ll ever be best friends but they were on good
terms. They even cracked a smile and a joke.”
Etihad
chief Guardiola and United
boss Mourinho face up in the Prem for the first time this lunchtime.The pair — once close friends at Barcelona under Bobby Robson — fell out after Guardiola became Nou Camp boss in 2008, a job Mourinho craved.
Animosity intensified when Mourinho’s Inter beat Barca in the 2010 Champions League semis. And the feud continued when Mourinho coached Real Madrid for three years.
