Guardiola laments sick chants about late Sir Bobby Charlton from Man City fans
Pep Guardiola has distanced Manchester City from certain fans who were heard singing heinous chants about Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, who passed away last weekend.
Charlton died at the age of 86, having spent the vast majority of his career with City's arch rivals United, having held the position as their top goal scorer for decades before Wayne Rooney surpassed him.
With both clubs in action on Saturday last weekend - the day the tragic news came out - two fans at the Etihad were seen singing sick songs about Charlton's death.
Later on in the week, Man City announced that both players would be suspended from attending all fixtures.
Guardiola appeared to send a similar message in his pre-Manchester derby press conference on Friday afternoon, in which he claimed such supporters 'don't represent us'.
'They don't represent us. Alcohol makes people do bad things. What represents is us going to sign the book at Manchester United.
'We have a lot of respect especially for the iconic figure of Bobby Charlton.
'We send our condolences to United and English football.'
The young supporters, who cannot be named due to their age, are facing a police probe. City identified them by reviewing CCTV footage from the afternoon.
