The former Red Devils forward, and son of Barcelona legend Johan, believes the Catalan coach came close to agreeing a move to Old Trafford in 2013
Manchester United had Pep Guardiola “aligned” to replace Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 but eventually opted for David Moyes, says Jordi Cruyff.
Various options were considered by the Red Devils as they prepared to bid farewell to an iconic manager.
In the end, they favoured Premier League experience at Everton over European endeavours at Barcelona.
The Moyes experiment proved to be a disaster, as the Scot lasted just nine months at Old Trafford, and Cruyff claims that United could have appointed a man who has just led arch-rivals City to title glory.
