Revealed: Why Man Utd target Pep Guardiola is yet to announce Man City deal
PEP GUARDIOLA has already agreed to take charge at Manchester City, according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
Pep Guardiola has reportedly decided to join Manchester City
Reports surfaced last night that Manchester United officials met with Guardiola in Paris last week in a bid to win the race for his signature in the summer.
Guardiola has already confirmed he will leave his post at Bayern Munich at the end of the season and has revealed he wants to manage in the Premier League.
But Balague has dismissed the likelihood of Guardiola arriving at Old Trafford, claiming the former Barcelona boss has agreed to replace Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad.
However, the Spaniard is reportedly waiting to put pen to paper until either Bayern or City are knocked out of the Champions League to avoid playing each other.

Balague tweeted: “On Pep and United. It is false they have met in Paris. As a friend just told me, why would United meet the next City manager?
“So not true Pep met United. He has agreed to join City but hasn’t signed yet. That'll happen when Bayern-City is not possible in the Champions League.”
