Last month, former Manchester City captain Richard Dunne said Mendy needed to cut back on social media.The France international is very active on Twitter and Instagram.Dunne, who made 352 appearances for City between 2000 and 2009, said: [Paul] Pogba was on social media all the time earlier this season and wasnt playing well.Like Mendy, its great having a laugh but make sure youre contributing to the success of the club and not just feeding off of it.Make sure youre doing your job before youre posting anything. Its a bit of distraction, and something the manager could do without.Mendy could return to Citys matchday squad when they host relegation-threatened Cardiff on Wednesday night.A win would return Guardiolas men to the top of the Premier League table and a point ahead of Liverpool with six games to go.
