As the City manager, Pep Guardiola begins pre-season, he was caught off guard while out on a late-night bike ride around Manchester when he was trailed by a shrieking fan who wants a picture with him

A supporter observed the Spaniard cycling in the distance while the manager was out and about in the city center on his bicycle.
Instead of letting Guardiola go about his business, the fan continued to yell after the 51-year-old and then pursued him on his own bike when he didn't react.

The fan yells to the camera, "no, nay you need to see this," while the City boss keeps pedaling.
