Two people, both minors, chanted during City’s match against Brighton last weekend, soon after the Manchester United great’s death was announced.
Pep Guardiola distanced Manchester City from the two banned supporters who chanted offensively following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, insisting the pair “don’t represent us”.
Guardiola is hopeful the travelling fans will conduct themselves respectfully, as he condemned the behaviour of the two fans who have been suspended from attending City matches home and away.“They don’t represent us,” Guardiola said. “Alcohol makes bad things in people. Mike Summerbee went to Old Trafford to sign the book , he represents us.
With only nine matches gone in the Premier League so far, this derby does not have the same emphasis but it is a fixture that former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola has always enjoyed.“When I was at Barcelona and Bayern Munich and I travelled to England to play against United at Old Trafford, it was always special,” he said. “It is a special place and here it is special for our fans.
“There have only been nine fixtures so there are 87 points to play for. It’s another game, we have to be focused to beat them.”
