Manchester United legend Roy Keane claims that it is new Sky Blues boss Pep Guardiola who is quickly becoming the ‘Special One’ around town.
A 4-0 win over Monchengladbach in the Champions League saw Manchester City maintain their perfect start to the season after seven games in all competitions.
After Jose Mourinho’s United fell to their rivals 2-1 in the first derby of 2016-17 last weekend, the Irishman said that the ex-Bayern manager has quickly put his stamp on the club and the Premier League.
“Mourinho reckons he’s the special one, to me this guy (Guardiola) is,” Keane said in an interview with ITV.
“I think what was important when he first went in there, the decision to get rid of two or three really important characters from Man City – (Joe) Hart, (Yaya) Toure – he made the decision, ‘you’re not for me’.
“He says he’s a challenging coach and he doesn’t look like he’s messing about
“They’re playing with a lot of confidence, he’s rotating the squad, the players are playing with a lot of confidence after a decent start. I wouldn’t like to mess with him.”
The infamously hot tempered Keane recorded over 320 appearances during his playing days at Manchester United.
