Pep Guardiola has hit back at Gary Neville after the Sky Sports pundit said Guardiola's Manchester City side foul teams to shut down counter-attacks against them.
Per The Sun's Duncan Wright and Ian Whittell of The Independent, the Manchester United legend said City are "clever" and "cynical" for using fouls to give away free-kicks rather than allow teams to hit them on the break.
According to Wright, Guardiola said in response:
"I do not agree with that at all. We are not a team that goes looking for these type of situations and I would never ask my players to deliberately foul an opponent.
