Pep Guardiola reveals the one Man Utd player he regrets not coaching during his career
Pep Guardiola expresses his regret at not coaching a particular Manchester United star, whom he considers his favorite player. Despite managing numerous world-class talents, there's one former Red Devil Guardiola would have loved to mentor.
As Manchester City's most successful manager, potentially poised to surpass Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy with a fourth consecutive Premier League title, Guardiola's admiration for this player is evident.
During a 2017 golf charity event hosted by Rory McIlroy in Belfast, avid United supporter and actor James Nesbitt posed a question to Guardiola: which former United star he wished he had managed. Without hesitation, Guardiola named Paul Scholes, citing his qualities that would have seamlessly fit into Barcelona's style of play.
Guardiola's admiration for Scholes isn't new; he has previously lauded him as the best midfielder of his generation and expressed a desire to have played alongside him during his own career.
