Pep Guardiola has defended Benjamin Mendy over his controversial trolling of Brighton’s Lewis Dunk and insisted all his players are "good people".
Mendy was criticised by Steven Gerrard on BT Sport for tweeting "bullet header" to mock Dunk over his own goal in Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.
Mendy, who is still recovering from his knee injury, later apologised and Guardiola says the £52million France defender is not nasty.
"I don’t know what happened," said the City boss. "I don’t what he said. The private life is private life.
"He has to respect the social media in what is happening with the club and the opponent. But I think the guys in squad they are so, so good - good people and nice people."
