‘I don’t care about the Premier League and the Carabao Cup, we cannot win,’ he told Des Kelly on BT Sport.
‘We won a lot, so it’s not a problem.’

‘Marcus Rashford is offside, Bruno Fernandes is not. Rashford distracted our keeper and centre defenders,’ he said,
‘It is what it is. We know where we play. It is difficult for the referees in these stadiums.’
When asked about his team’s chances of defending the title.
‘In general I have no regrets. I don’t care if we don’t win the Carabao Cup or the Premier League, we’ll try.
‘I don’t care when a team performs how we play. It was quite similar to the many, many years we’ve been here.
Manchester City have now lost twice in four days including the 2-0 loss to Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Guardiola will be hoping for an immediate response when they face Tottenham on Thursday at the Etihad.
