It only took a small gesture, but Pep Guardiola was not able to hold back his true feelings about Manchester United in a press conference earlier today.

Speaking ahead of his team's debut in the UEFA Champions League, Guardiola was speaking about how some of their main rivals in the Premier League were showing improvement, specifically referring to Arsenal and Liverpool. Then, the journalist asked him about Manchester United, and the Spaniard was not able to hold back a sarcastic smile.

Once he realized how his answer would be taken, the former Barcelona boss tried to explain how the Red Devils and Chelsea might take more time to show their best form, but it was too late for him to prevent his reaction from going viral.

Have a look at Guardiola's reaction to a question about his Premier League neighbors.
