Man City's Guardiola wary of unpredictable United under new boss Carrick

Guardiola faces uncertainty due to Carrick's unpredictable tactics and City's defensive injuries ahead of the Manchester derby at Old Trafford, with United winless in four games.

  • Focusing inward, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he concentrates on his own team because he is unsure what to expect from Manchester United interim boss Michael Carrick, citing `Results, results` as his mindset.
  • After recent upheaval, Ruben Amorim was sacked last week and Michael Carrick, Manchester United interim boss, was appointed until the end of the season amid nine managers since Guardiola's 2016 arrival.

  • Transfer talk also looms as City face an injury-hit defence missing John Stones, Ruben Dias and Joško Gvardiol, while Guardiola refused to comment on Marc Guehi amid Glasner's confirmation he may leave.
