Man City boss Guardiola: Mourinho and I are fine

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists there's no feud with Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho.

Guardiola and Mourinho will be the centre of attention when Manchester United play Manchester City in Beijing in the International Champions Cup.

It will be the first time the managers have faced each other in four years and Guardiola says his relationship with the Portuguese coach will not be an issue.

When asked if he would shake Mourinho's hand, Guardiola said: "Of course, we're polite guys. Why not? Why wouldn't I shake hands?"

"He [Mourinho] wants to win, I want to win," the Spaniard added. "But it is a friendly game, a really friendly game."
