Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted he regrets his extraordinary post-match exchange with Southampton’s Nathan Redmond that has brought him to the attention of the disciplinary department of the Football Association.
The FA have asked Guardiola for his observations after he was pictured in what looked like an angry exchange with the player following Premier League leaders Manchester City’s dramatic late win against the Saints on Wednesday.
Redmond has insisted no offence was taken and confirmed the City manager’s claims he was merely complimenting the Southampton winger after Raheem Sterling’s goal deep into stoppage time sealed a win that kept Guardiola’s men eight points clear at the top of the table.
But Guardiola still conceded Friday he regrets the way he went about talking to an opposition player in public.
“Yes,” said Guardiola when asked if he regretted his actions.
