Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Manuel Pellegrini can be proud of the squad he built at the club.

Before last night's win by City, Guardiola paid tribute to the West Ham manager.

“All the players I have in my hands now were with other managers and they learned a lot from that - and I benefit from that," Guardiola said.

“In the last decade, they were involved with (Roberto) Mancini and Manuel and myself, with all the staff and all the players, we have created Manchester City.

“I didn't build it. I didn't create it. Many incredible players and managers, everybody, did something.

“Hopefully we can leave something for the next manager to do that.

“That's the best we can do for other managers, leave something for the club - and, of course, I got something with what Manuel did here."
