Solskjaer and Guardiola go head to head in the Premier League tonight

Solskjaer is not the first United manager to have claimed City might strategically foul opponents high up the pitch to prevent counter-attacks, with his predecessor Jose Mourinho having mentioned it last season.“When we win it we have got to be ready for their aggression because they will snap at your ankles and heels and kick you,” Solskjaer said at his pre-match press conference. “They will not allow us easy counter-attacking. There will be fouls, no doubt about it.”Guardiola reacted with surprise when this was mentioned at his own media briefing. “Did he say that?” the Spaniard asked. “I never prepare a game in 10 seasons as a manager thinking about these kind of things, never.“The players can talk about it better than me, the players I had at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and here.“I know exactly what I said to my players from day one to the last day. When a player wants to attack, we have to be honest.

“Of course there is contact, there are fouls, but when it happens (it is because) you arrive late and that is why there are referees, to make yellow cards or red cards or whatever they decide.“I prepare to do our own game, that is what I want, knowing of course the opponent, but I never said I’m going to do that to punish them or cancel them (by) making fouls. Never.”Guardiola was asked if he thought comments such as Solskjaer’s could influence the referee.“That’s the reason why, of course,” he said.
