Pep Guardiola is willing to join Jose Mourinho for a drink following Saturday's Manchester derby if he receives an invitation.
Guardiola and Mourinho had a heated rivalry during their time competing against each other as managers of Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
“If he invites me to do that I will accept,” Guardiola said when asked if he would go for a drink with Mourinho. “I have said many times I have a lot of respect for him. I always try to learn from all my colleagues and opponents and I learn from him as well. José was my coach, when he was assistant to Bobby Robson.
“The last meeting in Madrid with Barcelona was not easy but we met each other two or three weeks ago at a Premier League managers get-together and we spoke with each other, and with Ronald Koeman and Tony Pulis. So it was OK. The rivalry between us is more in the media.”
