Pep Guardiola spent £84m on Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo in the winter transfer window

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he was "a little bit grumpy" when asked about the club's January transfer business.

Rather than concentrate on City being the biggest spenders for the second consecutive winter window, he preferred to focus on net spend.

"In net spend the last five years we are seventh," Guardiola insisted.

It appeared to be targeted at critics of his team's performances this season. The Spanish manager seemed to be arguing that others have been spending more money to catch up.
