Former USA and Red Devils goalkeeper Tim Howard has warned the Argentine not to copy Guardiola's style of football with his new team.

Howard feels the current Man City manager has ruined the way football is being played today.

"What Gregg Berhalter did was — you look back at my generation, we were just a bunch of tough, rugged guys.

"We had a couple of match-winners. He got this team to believe they could compete and be expansive and play well in the forward areas.

"I think what happened was in all ways, Pep Guardiola has ruined football. Pep Guardiola has taught everybody that they can play expansive football.

"They can't. Not everybody can do it, three teams in the world can do it really well."
