Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been spotted backstage at the Oasis Heaton Park gig
Pep Guardiola has been spotted in Manchester as he posed with members of the Gallagher family ahead of their historic reunion gig at Heaton Park.
The Manchester City manager posed for a photo with Noel's and Liam's children in a snap shared to Gene's Instagram page.
Sporting retro Manchester City kit and a casual pair of denim shorts, Pep looked every inch the concert-going dad as he raised his drink for the photo.
Pictured with him in the snap are Noel's daughter Anais and Liam's sons Gene and Lennon Gallagher.
The latter were dressed somewhat unseasonably for the 29C weather in heavy jackets and pants - although perhaps they take after their father, who has taken to the stage in a parka.
The Gallagher's friendship with their favourite team's manager goes back some distance. Noel routinely appears at City events and posed with Pep in the living room of a house in Didsbury to recreate the cover of Definitely, Maybe.

And when the band took to the stage for their first gig of the reunion tour in Cardiff last week (July 4), it was with a cut-out of Guardiola in the background.
The four appeared to be posing backstage at Heaton Park, as Oasis take to the stage in Manchester tonight for the first time in over 15 years.
Nearly 80,000 fans have made the pilgrimage to Prestwich under blazing sunshine, as temperatures climbed to 30C.
Excitement has built to a fever pitch all day, with Manchester city centre heaving with fans who have travelled from as far afield as California, Sweden and Japan to see the spectacle.
Beer gardens were packed and there were lengthy queues for trams and buses taking fans to the north Manchester park.
The brothers will play a further three dates in Manchester (July 12, 19 and 20).
