Pep Guardiola is clearly still bristling after Manchester City threw away the chance to win the Premier League title by beating rivals United.

City were beaten 3-2 at home, having led 2-0 at half time, but should have had a second half penalty when Ashley Young caught Sergio Aguero with a sliding tackle.

Guardiola was asked whether striker Aguero, who made a 14 minute substitute appearance in the derby, was ready to start against Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday.
