Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team was defeated 2-1, after making 10 changes to their starting lineup, but City finally reclaimed the Premier League title from Liverpool before kicking a ball again after a late loss to Chelsea last weekend as closest rivals United won at Aston Villa.
Guardiola, who, in 2019, signed a new two-year deal to stay at the club until 2023, has now led City to three Premier League crowns and eight major trophies.
