Wolves boss Bruno Lage dismisses Pep Guardiola's criticism of his side's defensive playing style following their narrow defeat at Manchester City

Wolves manager Bruno Lage said he 'didn't care' about Pep Guardiola's damning verdict on his tactics but also reserved criticism for star striker Raul Jimenez after his controversial red card.

Guardiola claimed Wolves hadn't tried to play football during their 1-0 defeat at The Etihad but Lage retorted: 'I respect him, one of the greatest managers in history, but I don't really care (what he said).

'I never talk about how other teams play. Maybe they play that way because of the players they have. For me, the best thing is the opinions from the players, not the other managers.
