He responded, as reported by SkySports on X, “We don't deserve one this season. So that's now. The bonus is you win. I don't know how much you go there, it's for the club. The managers, the staff, backroom staff players we don't deserve. Not even a watch.”
Guardiola’s side are still in the FA Cup competition and winning it could reduce the criticism of their disappointing season.
They also have a chance to win the Club World Cup, which will begin at the end of the Premier League season.
