Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he's happy for Douglas Luiz at Aston Villa.

The former City player returns to the Etihad tonight with Villa.

Guardiola said: “We met a little bit and he seemed like an exceptional guy.

“For the work permit, it was not possible to be with us.

“After making steps, Girona and other places he settled perfectly at Villa. I'm happy for him. He's playing really good."
