FA Cup: He’s aggressive – Guardiola singles out exceptional Newcastle star

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has singled out ‘exceptional’ Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes ahead of both teams’ FA Cup quarter-final tie on Saturday.

Gaurdiola said Guimaraes is exceptional with and without the ball, insisting that he is a complete holding midfielder.

“He is an exceptional holding midfielder,’ Guardiola said at a press conference on Friday.

“He is aggressive, with the ball or without the ball.

“At set pieces, he’s aggressive and is a real, complete holding midfielder since being at Lyon and now at a club who want to grow up and up.

“I’m sure he is part of the project for the next years. Definitely.”

Guimaraes joined Newcastle from Lyon in a £40million deal in January 2022.
