Pep Guardiola has defended Manchester City's decision to sell Raheem Sterling after the winger admitted that he was "raging" at the manner of his exit as he joined Chelsea.
City have seen Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Sterling all join Premier League rivals this transfer window as the club showed their ruthlessness this summer. All three players moved to the capital with both Jesus and Zinchenko reuniting with the club's former coach and current Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta.
Since the departure of Fernandinho in the summer, Sterling was the club's longest-serving player - a title which has now been passed on to Kevin De Bruyne. Although there was no bad blood between the player, Pep Guardiola or the club - the Chelsea man admitted his frustration at how the situation that led to his departure developed.
