Video: Guardiola spotted coaching Haaland after City thrashed United at Old Trafford

Pep Guardiola had a point where he was not satisfied with Erling Haaland's game in the 3-0 win over Manchester United despite the striker contributing to all three goals.

The Norwegian striker opened the scoring at Old Trafford from the penalty spot after Rasmus Hojlund pulled back Rodri during a freekick, and the video assistant referee intervened.

As spotted by The Athletic journalist Sam Lee, Pep Guardiola was engrossed in a conversation with Haaland after the players applauded the fans at the away end.

It was hard to determine what was discussed, but the jumping gesture made by the striker during the conversation suggested it was about his header, which was saved before he scored a similar one.

Per Sky Sports, the gesture was not well received by the former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, who was on punditry for the game, slamming the gesture as performative.

"All for show! You don't need to be on the pitch talking about it for five minutes. Just get down the tunnel, enjoy your victory!" he said.
