Pep Guardiola's Career Record Against Manchester United

JAKARTA - Pep Guardiola, will face Manchester United for the 30th time in his career as coach when Manchester City welcomes the Red Devils at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League match, Sunday, September 14, 2025.

The Spaniard has faced United while coaching three different clubs: Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and now regularly with city rivals Manchester City.

Despite United experiencing ups and downs in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, Guardiola often encounters tough challenges against them. The following is Guardiola's career record recap against Manchester United based on a report by Andrew Delaney of Sports Mole (12 September 2025).

Data from the above sports card states that Guardiola has a record W1 D1 L0 against United in the Champions League while still Barcelona's (1994), with two goalsless performances. However, as a coach, his record against United shows dominance with 16 wins from 29 matches, despite defeats in the 2024 FA Cup final and this season's home game shows United remain a difficult opponent.

City's performance at Etihad against United tends to be inconsistent, with just one win in Guardiola's six early home derbys. However, their dominance in the 2021-2024 period confirmed Guardiola's tactical advantage, although United were able to provide surprises at key moments.

The match on September 14, 2025 at the Etihad will be Guardiola's next test to improve his home record against United, especially after a dramatic defeat at the previous meeting of the season. With City still chasing the Premier League title, and United under the direction of Amorism, this match is predicted to be fierce.
