Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has furiously hit back at former Manchester United pair Patrice Evra and Dimitar Berbatov for questioning is management.

Guardiola ripped into the pair for raising questions over his ability as a manager, with the City boss recalling his former Barcelona side 'destroying' them in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals.

"You cannot have personality because you concede two goals in one minutes after you have chances to score?" Guardiola said.

"And after the last four games we scored 19 goals so we have incredible personality and these kind of things? I'm sorry but I completely disagree.

"The same character and personality that lost in Madrid is what we have had for the last years. Specialist former players like [Dimitar] Berbatov, Seedorf and Evra and these types of people weren't there.

"I've played against them, and I didn't see this kind of personality when we destroyed United in the Champions League final.

"Personality is what we have done in the last five years every three days in all competitions. Maybe Liverpool is going to win all four titles or maybe just one but I'm going to say that they don't have personality and character.

"What you say they didn't do an incredible season even when they lost the league by one or two points to us? We arrive until the end playing good because otherwise you don't arrive. This is the most important thing."
