Pep Guardiola says his thoughts are with the victims of paedophile Barry Bennell.

The Manchester City manager was asked for his view after the 64-year-old – who was linked to the club – was found guilty of multiple historic sex offences against boys.

Questions have been asked about City's role in Bennell's abuse, and whether they could have done more to stop the former youth coach, who provided players for the club.
