TRANSFER WINDOW: Pep Guardiola has been confirmed as Manchester City's next manager

Manchester United made no attempt to hijack Pep Guardiola's move to Manchester City, according to Sky sources.

City stole the Deadline Day headlines by announcing that Guardiola will replace Manuel Pellegrini as manager when he leaves Bayern Munich in the summer.

A statement from the Etihad said first contact with Guardiola was made "in recent weeks", but it is understood United have been prepared for the announcement for months.
