Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists that he has "no complaints" with his side's 0-0 draw against Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted that he was not frustrated by his side's goalless draw with Huddersfield Town this afternoon.

The Premier League high-flyers were unable to find a breakthrough against their Championship hosts at the John Smith's Stadium, forcing them into a replay next Tuesday or Wednesday.

The extra match is likely to affect City's planned mid-season training trip to Abu Dhabi, but Guardiola had "no complaints" at the result.

"It is not frustrating, it was a tough game against one of the best teams in the Championship," he told reporters.

"Two days ago there was a rugby game on the pitch which made it slow but we made a good performance. They are a really good team, congratulations to Huddersfield. When you play against teams at the top of the Championship it is obviously difficult. There were no complaints, my team did what I asked them to do.

"I love my job. We have to play a replay, that is the rules, we will come back from Abu Dhabi and play. Vincent Kompany was not able to play today but it is not a big issue."

City are bidding to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2010-11.
