De INEOS-ondernemer zei ook dat het land \u201czijn identiteit zou kunnen verliezen\u201d als dit niet werd aangepakt.<\/p>\n<p>Gevraagd naar Ratcliffes opmerkingen, hield Guardiola zijn antwoord gematigd en liet hij zich niet verleiden tot een politiek debat. De Manchester City-manager zei dat het niet aan hem was om over deze kwestie te spreken en benadrukte dat hij zich op het voetbal richtte.<\/p>\n<p>Guardiola, die al enkele jaren in Engeland woont en werkt, heeft eerder gesproken over het belang van verschillende culturen binnen het voetbal en de bredere samenleving, maar koos ervoor dit thema bij deze gelegenheid niet verder uit te diepen.<\/p>\n<p>Ratcliffe, een levenslange United-aanhanger die eerder dit jaar minderheidsaandeelhouder werd bij Old Trafford, heeft de leiding over de voetbaloperaties van de club overgenomen als onderdeel van zijn investering.<\/p>\n<p>Guardiola's City en Ratcliffe's United blijven felle rivalen op het veld, maar dit keer ging de discussie niet over voetbal nadat Ratcliffe's interview de voorpagina's haalde.<\/p>\n<p>City's manager maakte duidelijk dat hij niet aan het debat wilde bijdragen en richtte de aandacht liever op de aankomende wedstrijden van zijn team.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pep Guardiola has responded after Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe sparked controversy with comments about immigration.
