Pep Guardiola told Manchester United fans that they should have “ashamed” to have targeted Phil Foden with abusive songs on his mother at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Foden was criticized during a lame manchester derby which ended without a boost, with City which was shocked and disgusted by the number of fans of United. Sources from United on Sunday evening declared to condemn abusive songs against all players.
“It’s a lack of class,” said Guardiola later. “But it’s not united, are they people, you know?” We are so exposed, people who are on the screen in world football: managers, owners and football players in particular.
“Honestly, I don’t understand the minds of people involving Phil’s mom. It is a lack of integrity, of class, and they should be ashamed.
You could hear sections of Home Support United by labeling Foden’s mother, Claire Rowlands, 44, a “s ** g” while they were narrowing him during his 58 minutes on the field.
Foden was then removed and replaced by Jeremy Doku, leading to more tariffs.

But Guardiola rejected all the suggestions that the 24 -year -old is weak with confidence and supported him to discover the form that helped City lead to six league titles.
“When the team does not play at the level we had, it seems that not everyone was what it was,” added the Spaniard. “I see passion and smile on her face every day in training and that’s what I want.
“You see the number of players who had four, five, six years old. This year, we are falling and these are all – that’s why we have trouble winning, but the quality is there.
“He won the Premier League in the last games (last year), in the match against West Ham with two goals. Its impact has been incredible and it will be back.
Foden’s mother entered the public’s eyes in January 2024 after the release of her images of her handcuffing and thrown from a Welsh nightclub after hitting a hat from the head of another reveler.
The incident, which occurred in a disco in Bentley in Towyn, in Wales, took place on September 9, 2023, just hours after Foden left the bench to play for England in a qualifier Euro 2024.
The 52 -second clip, shown in court, has shown that Rowlands has aggressively faced police officers who were called to the scene.
Defying the officers, she said: “Keep then, what did I do?” Do not start in front of unless you have proof.

Another friend said, “No, she returns home with me”, while the police replied: “She stays with us for a minute”.
Rowlands was eliminated assault and was sentenced to a fine for his behavior after admitting to the police: “I don’t drink often but when I do it, I make up for the time. I am like an animal.
Meanwhile, in Old Trafford on Sunday, the former American stars Gary Neville and Roy Keane criticized the lack of passion of the two teams.
Neville frowned against the players kissing full-time, saying: “The love I watch tells you that the two teams feel happy with a 0-0. They are going for a roasted dinner now.
“He is a Manchester derby and he should have more blood, thunder, risk and courage.
Keane added: “I can’t believe this – it’s a friendly derby.”
The boss of United Ruben Amorim retaliated by saying: “I understand that Gary Neville is essential about everything!”
