Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has offered words of support to Manchester United star Paul Pogba.

Pogba is out of tonight's derby at City.

Guardiola said: “I met Paul Pogba for the first time when Bayern Munich played Juventus last season. In both games I was really impressed.

“He played in 10 positions. He is an outstanding player and he can do absolutely everything.

“Sometimes it's not easy to handle the expectations you have when you arrive here, especially with the amount of money, it wasn't easy.

“I think he made a good season."
