After Pep Guardiola’s handshake, hug and word for Morgan Gibbs-White following the FA Cup semi-final, the Man City manager also spoke to the midfielder in the tunnel.

Morgan Gibbs-White would still be open to joining Man City, linking up with close friend Phil Foden, as well as working with Pep Guardiola. It now remains to be seen whether he reappears on Man City’s radar, or whether that route is closed for now.
