Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Jacob Wright deserves his chance.

The midfielder made his debut in City's FA Cup win against Huddersfield as a second-half substitute.

"Jacob has been training with us, and has been progressing really well," Guardiola explained. "That is what the Academy is for...to provide players to play minutes when we need them.

"These young lads have dreams and they have desires, and they have to get their rewards. Everything they get they have earned and won, and I'm really pleased for him and the others.

"I hope the Academy continues doing great things for many, many years."
