Manuel Akanji

Pep Guardiola lavished praise on Manuel Akanji after an impressive Premier League debut in the 3-0 win at Wolves.

“I didn’t see what happened so I can’t give an opinion. “Kevin scored a lot of goals last season, but this year he is more about assists than goals and Gundo is an incredible runner into the box as he showed perfectly against Aston Villa last season – when we are there, everyone has permission to open the door and go to the box – nobody is not allowed to do that – everyone can do this.” “He has to be who he is in the good moments and bad moments that everyone has, he has to say, ‘I am “I trust unconditionally all of them and I trust him unconditionally – today he scored a goal and every time he had the ball, he was one against one when he took on the full-back all the time, all the time, all the time, but he has to play for himself and give the best of himself because that’s what I’m looking for,” said Pep. “I’m happy with him, happy with the victory and Jack has an incredible personality to play and that’s why I’m happy for him, but they don’t have to say thank you – I just want the best of themselves every time they play – this is what we are looking for. “He is so aggressive to go across the opponent and has the perfect temperament to control the situation.

Erling Haaland has dominated headlines but £15m former Dortmund team-mate has made an instant impact in defence for Pep Guardiola's team.

We gave him five minutes to see if he can play there and he play very well but we cannot play him there because we need him in midfield.” I went in for the tackle because if I do win the ball then I'm away and I think I would've been through.” But at the back they are also short, with Collins now suspended for three matches. “He is so aggressive to go close to the opponent but then has the tempo to control the situation. “John again at full-back was brilliant, happy he can play two games in a row, we need him,” said Guardiola.
