Pellegrini job being undermined by Guardiola talk – Mills
“So when I come on I just try to do my best to try to score or to give an assist to the other players to score to help the team to win”.

One blot on Guardiola’s copybook has been his failure to win the Champions League with Bayern losing in the semi-finals on their previous two attempts.
The Catalan will depart Bayern Munich at the end of the season when his contract expires, though he has yet to announce where he will coach next. He seems set to win the league in Germany this time as well but he could move to the Premier League as that is the only top league which he hasn’t taken up a job in – and Italy of course.
Chelsea, City and United have all been touted as potential destinations for Barcelona legend in recent weeks, and the Citizens are favourites to secure Guardiola’s signature.
“In my opinion, City is an attractive project but Chelsea is in London and there is that attraction”.
“That’s what I mean”, he said. It’s not that results haven’t been bad, but some of the underlying play and metrics were improving, we are apparently willing to reinforce the squad, and it’s not like an interim manager will be any more likely to play the youth.
“We look at the day today and not what is going to happen in the summer”.
City won the Premier League and Capital One Cup under Pellegrini in 2014, but nothing last season. So far, United have shown, publicly at least, no interest in the 44-year-old as they stand by their not-so-flying Dutchman.
Louis van Gaal has faced the wrath of United fans during a six-game winless run which includes embarrassing losses in succession to Premier League newcomers Bournemouth and Norwich.
Pellegrini’s contract has 18 months to run and the Chilean thinks Guardiola might follow him to the Etihad Stadium.
Yet now Guardiola is free and rumour continues to spread that he supposedly has United, arguably the world’s biggest club, at the top of his wish list, that could change as swiftly as United’s fortunes deteriorate.
He won three league titles, two Champions Leagues and a Copa del Rey while at the Nou Camp.
The former Spain midfielder is set to step down as Bayern Munich manager at the end of the season after having led the German side to back-to-back Bundesliga titles.

In fact, it has become an open secret in the dressing room, something the hierarchy struggle to deny given the links between Guardiola and City’s former Barca executives Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano.
