Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has taken a swipe at Manchester United for not qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
The Spaniard equally claimed that United tried to lure away some of his players,adding that they couldn't afford them.
United will not be competing in this season's Champions League competition,after they finished seventh in the league last season.
“It’s a good lesson for the big clubs,” Guardiola told a press conference today.
“They think ‘we are unbeatable and strong’ and they are not here and maybe the next season they are out.
“That’s why football is magnificent. Every single week you have to be ready. Every week you have got to show you are ready. A bad 45 minutes and you’re out.”
With United spending a lot of money on the acquisition of new players this summer, Guardiola insisted that they couldn't afford to buy any of their players.
“They didn’t have enough money,” Guardiola said. “I saw they spent a lot of money and it’s good for my friend Louis. It’s part of the game. All of the clubs in the world want the players of another club, but it depends on the player. If the player wants to play he will play. If he wants to stay he will stay. Manchester wants these kinds of players.”
