Lewis proud playing for Man City boss Guardiola

Rico Lewis admits he's full of pride playing for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola has backed the teenage fullback over the past two seasons.

“It means more than anything to me to get praise from someone like Pep," he said.

“I have watched him coach for years so for him to be talking about me, it doesn't really make sense. I like it and it's fuel to do more and get better."

On last season's Treble, Lewis told City's website: "At the start of the season I thought we were going to win the Treble. I told my dad, I told everyone. It's easy to say that now but I actually did think we would.

“It's amazing to win it but for myself, I'd like to be more a part of it in the future."
