Hailed as ‘IDOL’ by Pep Guardiola – Julia Roberts joins forces with Manchester United’s finest on US tour

Pep Guardiola might want to turn away after Julia Roberts paid a visit to Manchester United players and staff during their pre-season tour of the United States.

After previously being welcomed behind-the-scenes, the Hollywood actress now lives in the United States and is a big fan of the Red Devils.

Guardiola’s idol went to Old Trafford in November 2016 to watch Manchester United, who were managed by Jose Mourinho at the time.

Roberts was at Old Trafford at the time with her cinematographer husband Daniel Moder and three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, all of whom are believed to be United fans.

She was granted unfiltered access for the second time and posed for photos with United manager Erik ten Hag and other stars at the MetLife Stadium following Saturday’s friendly win over Arsenal.

In a dig at their cross-city rivals, the Premier League giants also presented her with a home shirt inscribed with the number one and Roberts on the back.

Roberts’ celebrity rivals that of United’s biggest stars, with many fans clamouring for photos with the 55-year-old fan.

Marcus Rashford, who had just signed a new long-term contract with his boyhood club, wrapped his arm around Roberts and hugged him as the pair posed for a photo.

Casemiro, a Brazilian midfielder, grinned from ear to ear while standing next to her after putting in some pre-season miles.

United’s new captain, Bruno Fernandes, couldn’t hide his joy, and Scotland international Scott McTominay was overjoyed to meet Roberts.

Summer signing Mason Mount, as well as World Cup-winning center-back Raphael Varane, attended the celebrity gathering.

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, previously described Roberts as one of his “idols.”

New signing for the summer Mason Mount (left) was also given the opportunity to meet the Hollywood star.

Meanwhile, for Guardiola, it’s a case of what could have been, as Roberts cemented her love for Manchester’s red half.

Guardiola admitted to being a failure in the Champions League two months before they won it for the first time. I’ll be a failure even if I win the Champions League three times in a row.

‘In my life, I have three idols. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Julia Roberts. These three people are my idols.

‘Julia Roberts came to Manchester many years ago, not in the 1990s when Sir Alex Ferguson was winning titles and titles and titles.

‘She came during the four or five years when we were better than United, right? She went to see Manchester United instead of coming to see us.

‘Even if I win the Champions League, it won’t make up for the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t see us.’

Roberts did, however, congratulate Guardiola on completing the treble by winning the Champions League.
