77Pep Guardiola congratulates Manchester UnitedManchester City manager Pep Guardiola congratulated local rivals Manchester United on securing the services of striker Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal even though the Chilean international has not formally completed his transfer. Sanchez is in the final few months of his Arsenal contract and United have stolen a march on their rivals, although manager Jose Mourinho said on Friday that the deal was not yet done. “He is still an Arsenal player and it looks like he will go to United so congratulations and good luck to them,” Guardiola told a news conference on Friday. “The players and manager decide what is best for them. “(Delph) will be out for a while but we don’t know how long for yet,” Guardiola said.
