Basketball great Michael Jordan paid tribute to Pep Guardiola as the departing Manchester City manager was given a final sendoff during an open-top bus parade and high-profile after-party.

After the parade through the streets of Manchester, a sell-out crowd of 19,000 inside the Co-op Live arena - near City's Etihad Stadium - witnessed a video message from Jordan to Guardiola on the big screen.

"Hey Pep, I just want to congratulate you on an unbelievable career. Enjoy your retirement," said the six-time NBA champion. "Good luck on the links, and keep them straight," Jordan added, in a nod to Guardiola's golfing hobby.
