Benjamin Mendy respects Pep Guardiola's tactical acumen, but he's acknowledged he has annoyed his manager more than once, particularly over his social media activity.

Mendy spoke to FourFourTwo (h/t Stuart Brennan of the Manchester Evening News) about his sometimes tumultuous relationship with the Manchester City manager:

"Pep is just unbelievable. Tactically he's amazing, but it’s also the way he makes you feel. He's the manager but he can be your friend, too. Not a friend like you would go out with all the time, obviously, but you can talk openly and he’ll make you feel good.
