Man City boss Pep Guardiola teases Man United after their Carabao Cup triumph by joking they went six years without a trophy 'because they didn't spend' - despite splashing out nearly £700m in the last five seasons

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has aimed a cheeky dig at neighbours United over their spending after they ended a six-year trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup.

Guardiola won nine major pieces of silverware in a timeframe similar to United's long wait between triumphs, including four Premier League titles and four League Cups.

Guardiola congratulated United on Sunday's win over Newcastle - a result that could prove a springboard for greater things in the coming years under Erik ten Hag - but he could not resist a joke about financial matters.
