Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has aimed a dig at two Premier League big spenders.

The Citizens, who won the treble last season, have been perfect so far in the league this term.

Having won five of their opening five games, City are looking down on the table, and Guardiola joked about the tough starts for teams like Manchester United and Chelsea.

A reporter asked him about how United were performing, and he responded by saying: Guardiola added: "[Laughs] Well they didn't start. They didn't start in [the way] they expect like Chelsea but always they... Man United always they with Chelsea, sooner or later they will take the rhythm.

“But that is important for us after winning the treble, five to five [wins] is really, really good, really good."
