Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has responded to being mocked by Leyton Orient fans, as his team came back from behind to win their FA Cup fourth round tie on Saturday.

The hosts took a shock lead through a Stefan Ortega own goal in the 16th minute.

New City signing Abdukodir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne then scored after the break, to avoid an embarrassing exit.

During the game while the Premier League champions were trailing, the home fans at Gaughan Group Stadium were heard chanting: “You’re getting sacked in the morning” at Guardiola.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Guardiola said: “Fantastic! Well when they say, ‘You are going to sack in the morning’ not so much!

“But it’s a routine in all the stadiums right now.

“With this result I think my chairman is not going to sack me tomorrow, that’s for sure!”

City’s next game will be on Tuesday night, when they play Real Madrid in the Champions League play-off.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
