Benjamin Mendy: Pep Guardiola wants Man City defender to use social media less
Last updated on .From the section Man City
It was almost the perfect Sunday for Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy.
The 24-year-old France World Cup winner marked his first league start for 11 months by assisting both goals as Pep Guardiola's side began the defence of their Premier League title with a 2-0 win at Arsenal.
Afterwards, Guardiola talked about Mendy's contribution - as well as the defender's love of social media.
"Mendy is Mendy. Sometimes we want to kill him and sometimes you think, wow, what a player we have," said the Spaniard.
"Hopefully we can convince him to forget a little bit the social media and improve a few things."

After City tweeted Guardiola's comments out, Mendy replied - on Twitter - with a funny face emoji and blue heart, and the message: "I will I promise."
The former Marseille and Monaco player then sent another tweet which read "Oops" accompanied with a laughing face emoji with a tear running down the face.
The question is: Will Mendy be laughing on Monday?
