Blues owner Roman Abramovich is hoping the former Barcelona chief will take over at Stamford Bridge next summer.
But Guardiola, who is on a year’s sabbatical in New York, fancies moving in at Old Trafford when Alex Ferguson retires.
That
could be at the end of this season.If not, Guardiola would be prepared
to hold out for another year.Fergie and Guardiola are close friends and
have met privately in New York.A source close to Guardiola said: “The
whole history of Manchester United, his relationship with Sir Alex and
the way the club is run appeals to Pep.“Right now I’d be astonished if
he went to Chelsea. He really wants to wait for the United job even if
it means extending his time out of the game.”Guardiola wants to be able

chief Rafa Benitez is his ninth boss in a decade — does not appeal.
