Pep Guardiola's New Facial Hair Is Getting Plenty Of Attention On Social Media

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is ready to quit football to become a full-time Mr. Darcy in a remake of the 1995 classic Pride and Prejudice.

Either that or the 46-year-old wants to try and become the face of Birdseye fish fingers. "Only the best for the Premier League table."

If you're wondering why I'm referring to men with majestic sideburns, then you'll soon lay eyes on a wonderful pair of mutton chops that makes Abel Xavier's facial hair look pathetic in comparison.

In a picture that sent the internet into meltdown, Guardiola was snapped chilling on a boat with a massive fuck off pair of sideburns strapped to his face.

Are they real? How do you grow such creatures? We need to know, Pep.

Guardiola pulls off the Andre The Giant-inspired sideburns rather well, but social media gave him a tough time.

Here are some reactions to those wonderful mutton chops:

Don't listen to the haters Pep, never, ever shave these beautiful, hairy side-whiskers.

JUST LOOK AT THEM.
