Gary Neville mocks Pep Guardiola after Salford are drawn against Man City in the FA Cup.
Gary Neville mercilessly mocked Pep Guardiola on social media after Salford City drew Manchester City in the FA Cup third round.
The draw, which included several high-profile matchups, set up a clash between League Two Salford and the reigning Premier League champions. Despite City’s dominance in recent years, their current poor form—seven games without a win across all competitions—has sparked hope for Salford.
City’s struggles include four consecutive league defeats, along with losses to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup and Sporting in the Champions League. Their latest setback came against Liverpool, where Anfield fans taunted Guardiola with chants of, “Sacked in the morning.”
Neville added to the mockery with a ruthless post on X, tagging Salford’s account and writing, “He’s getting sacked in the morning.”
Guardiola responded to the chants by holding up six fingers, symbolizing the six league titles he’s won with City. In a post-match interview, he expressed surprise at the chants from Liverpool fans but acknowledged the current struggles, saying, “Maybe they are right with the results we’ve been having.”
Despite the slump, City’s players and staff have called for unity. Kyle Walker penned an open letter urging fans to stand by the team during this difficult period. City will look to bounce back when they host Nottingham Forest in their next leag
ue match.
