Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Manchester United fans who targeted Phil Foden with a shocking chant should be ‘ashamed’.
Man United and Man City played out a drab goalless draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The points were shared after a lacklustre Manchester derby, with Gary Neville launching an astonishing rant following the final whistle.
One of the main talking points from the Premier League fixture took place off the field.
Man United fans aimed vile taunts at Foden, who started the game before being replaced in the second-half as he appeared to sustain an injury.
Supporters inside the stadium could be heard singing ‘Phil Foden, your mum’s a sl*g’.
In his post-match press conference, Guardiola was asked about the chants aimed at Foden and he didn’t hold back.
He said the fans who chanted against the Man City star’s mum should be ‘ashamed’ of themselves.
“Lack of class,” he exclaimed. “But it’s not United, it’s the people, you know? We are so exposed in the screen in world football – managers, owners, and football players especially.
“Honestly, I don’t understand the mind of the people involving the mum of Phil, it’s a lack of integrity, class, and they should be ashamed…”
The chant was sung during the game and when Foden came off the pitch.
