Critics of Manchester City are "pushing" to find a reason to punish them as club is being investigated by football authorities, Manager Pep Guardiola has said.


On Thursday, in response to a series of claims made against the club by the German publication Der Spiegel, UEFA launched an investigation.

The Premier League on Friday, said it was looking at City's academy recruitment and financial matters.

Guardiola said, "People press and push to find something wrong."

Speaking before the Premier League announced its investigation, the Spaniard added: "They want to underestimate what you achieve.

"I am not too concerned or worried about what people say if we win the title because what happens now with Uefa, they don't give us any credit for what we have done, believe me. I don't care. Absolutely zero."
