Guardiola has won numerous trophies in Spain and Germany with
Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively but Ferguson feels the
English game, known for its fast-paced and physically demanding
nature, will pose a completely different challenge.
"Without question Pep has got a fantastic work ethic about him.
He has got great coaching ability, there is no doubt about that.
Man City have made a real coup in getting him," the 13-time
league champion told British media.
"But Pep won't find it easy, English soccer is not easy. Every
foreign coach that has come to England will tell you that.
(Arsenal manager) Arsene Wenger was talking about that a few
months after coming and even Jose Mourinho was."
Meanwhile, the Scot has tipped Leicester City, who have a
five-point cushion over second-placed Tottenham Hotspur with
seven games left to play, to win their first ever league title.
"Leicester have got the bit between their teeth, they've been
the best team without question throughout the season and they
deserve to win it," the most decorated manager in Premier League
history said.
"I only see Tottenham being a danger to Leicester. But Leicester
have got the edge. I think they'll get there."
