Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has called Manchester United’s fall from grace ‘a warning to all the big European clubs’, and revealed that the Old Trafford club didn’t have enough power to buy his star players in the summer.
United’s failure to qualify for this season’s Champions League sent shock-waves around Europe, and Guardiola believes that no big club can afford to get ahead of themselves in the way United might have done.
‘They [Manchester United] think: “We are unbeatable and strong” and they are not here. Maybe the next season they are out,’ the former Barcelona boss said.
‘That’s why football is magnificent.
‘Every single week you have to be ready. Every week you have got to show you are ready.’
Guardiola also confirmed that Louis van Gaal had tried to sign Arjen Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Mueller over the summer, but said that United simply couldn’t afford them.
‘They [United] didn’t have enough money,’ he said.
