Guardiola: Man Utd striker Cavani a player after my heart

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has said he appreciates the qualities of Manchester United striker, Edinson Cavani, saying he is a player after his heart.

City are on the hunt for a new striker this coming summer but didn’t make any attempt to try and sign Cavani ahead of their neighbours.

Ahead of Sunday’s Manchester derby, Guardiola has admitted his admiration for the veteran forward but was happy with his strike force enough not to pursue him.

“We have Gabriel (Jesus) and we were waiting for Sergio (Aguero) to come back. Ferran (Torres) can play there really well too,” the Blues boss said when asked if he considered signing Cavani.

“He’s a player I admire a lot. I like the guy commits his whole career in many countries and he’s doing well.”
