Pep Guardiola made a classy gesture after Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Monday night by approaching Harry Arter at the final whistle to express his sorrow on learning of the player’s stillborn daughter Renee in December 2015. The Spaniard also wished him well as Arter and his partner, Rachel, are expecting a baby.
The midfielder, however, could not resist the temptation and jokingly offered his services to the Manchester City manager. Guardiola told Arter that he is a ‘fantastic player’, and the 27-year-old gave a tongue-in-cheek reply: “Come and sign me!”
Arter has poured his admiration for Guardiola, claiming he has a ‘massive respect’ for the Spaniard, and hailed him as the best manager in the world.
