Manchester United vs Manchester City game cancelled in China

PanARMENIAN.Net - The hotly-anticipated reunion between Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola has been delayed after Monday, July 25's International Champions Cup game between Manchester United and Manchester City was cancelled.

United boss Mourinho and new City manager Guardiola, who were fierce rivals while coaching Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, were due to face off for the first time in almost three years when the Manchester clubs met in a friendly fixture at Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium, the Manchester Evening News reports.

But heavy rain in the Chinese capital has rendered the pitch unplayable, with United revealing on Twitter that "tournament organisers and participating clubs have decided to cancel" the encounter.
