Pep Guardiola pays tribute to Manchester City players’ mentality

Pep Guardiola has paid tribute to his Manchester City players’ mentality and said they respond to him now as well as they ever did.

The 53-year-old’s contract expires at the end of this season and neither he nor the club have given any indication as to whether he will renew it.

Guardiola, who has extended the three-year deal he signed when first arriving in 2016 on three occasions, said in the summer he would wait until this season had started to see “how connected” he was with his players.
