Jack Grealish spoke about two of his new Manchester City teammates after the Blues' win over Club America in Houston.

I suppose if he misses a chance or whatever then people are always going to have something to say. "He is a great guy, a brilliant guy. Haaland was an unused substitute in Houston, meaning City fans will have to wait for his debut.

We take a look at Manchester City academy star Joshua Wilson-Esbrand, the man considered to be an option by Pep Guardiola at left-back.

The 19-year-old is part of City’s Under-23 team having joined them from West Ham United in 2019. The left-back has represented England at U18 and U20 level, making his debut for the latter mentioned team last year in their 2-0 loss to Portugal in the 2021–22 Under 20 Elite League. Guardiola has now confirmed his interest in the 23-year-old this summer, but has admitted if he fails to bring him to the Etihad this summer, he has alternatives at City in the left-back position.

Football365 - Brighton want £50m for Cucurella but City have warned they will walk away from the deal with other options available.

When we come back we want to be fit; the player has to be fit to be ready. “We want to take care of them. He said: “Next game he’ll be ready.

The first strike was one of typical individual brilliance as he curled in a right-footer from the edge of the box. Jack Grealish still feels like a relatively new kid on the City block despite now entering his second season at the Etihad - and there's no doubt it's a big campaign for last summer's record-breaking arrival. City are short of options at the back and their problems mounted when Ruben Dias was consigned to his hotel room on the day before the game after feeling unwell. Afterwards, Guardiola was beaming when asked to comment on how he felt the new players did, and in Alvarez it feels he has someone who can fit right into his well-oiled machine. The £51m summer arrival from Borussia Dortmund was briefly shown on the big screen at the NRG Stadium wearing a City tracksuit rather than his match kit, which confirmed that Pep Guardiola never intended to give him any game time here. Away from Haaland, all eyes pre-match were on what shape City would use given the change in personnel over the summer.

Manchester City have told Brighton they will walk away from negotiations over the signing of Marc Cucurella unless the Seagulls lower their £50million ...

But the Athletic say that City are ready to pull the plug on their interest in Cucurella as Brighton told them they were ‘miles away’ from meeting their valuation for the Spaniard. City submitted an offer of £32m for Cucurella – the precise amount they’ll receive for Zinchenko – but Brighton turned down the bid. Manchester City have told Brighton they will walk away from negotiations over the signing of Marc Cucurella unless the Seagulls lower their £50million asking price.

Man City's first bid to sign Marc Cucurella was rejected, and Guardiola has publicly named three alternatives that could be used to leave Brighton hanging.

The report claims City are unlikely to match that valuation despite spending £50m+ on Walker and Cancelo in the past. That strategy may be with a view to strong-arming Brighton into a sale at a lower price. Ake has deputised at left-back in the past despite being a centre-back. However, City undoubtedly lose a step or two going forward when Ake is at left-back. The likeliest scenario is City will indeed sign a new left-back this summer to provide back-up to Cancelo, and start when the Portuguese displaces Walker on the right. City are poised to see their already depleted full-backs ranks shrink further.

Jack Grealish was at the centre of the drama on Wednesday night when Manchester City took on Club American in a pre-season friendly at the MRG Stadium.

However, Valdez came flying in from behind as the England international tried to control it. He was deprived of a clear and obvious penalty in the second half. Ochoa grabbed hold of Grealish's left arm and tried to pull him to his feet. Frustrations for Grealish didn't stop there. The England star (on the floor) then clashed with Bruno Valdez in the second half of he game Grealish came to blows with Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa in the 24th minute of the game before clashing with Bruno Valdez in the second half.

Two America players sprinted over to confront Grealish as he continued to show his anger towards the goalkeeper, before they were separated by their team-mates. In the footage, Ochoa could be seen offering his hand to Grealish to help him off the floor. After earning his tag as one of the most-fouled players in the Premier League, Grealish is used to having lumps kicked out of him on a weekly basis.

Football Insider has been told by Alan Hutton that Marc Cucurella will be the "number one target" for Man City this summer.

So it’s not a problem for Man City and I think they’ll hold out as long as possible.“ “I think they’ll try and hold on for as long as possible. I think a natural left-footer on that side helps with the balance.

Ex-Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has revealed why Man City beat his former club to the Premier League title last season.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see where the two sides are at heading into the new season, as they are set to take eachother on in the Community Shield on the 30th of July The 92 points they gained as runners-up last campaign would have seen them win the Premier League in 23 of the last 30 years, which portrays the incredibly high level both City and Liverpool are playing at. He was also the right-back in the side during the notorious 2013/2014 title race, where they again fell short to the blue side of Manchester.

The latest Manchester City transfer gossip as Pep Guardiola reportedly monitors a potential Marc Cucurella alternative.

It appears that the Blues will need to act fast if they want to bolster their already impressive array of youngsters. According to the Peterborough Telegraph, the Premier League champions are interested in signing the centre-back but face stiff competition from a host of other top-flight teams. According to iNews, City are one of several Premier League clubs that the 26-year-old has been offered to and a deal could be done for as little as £15m. As Pep Guardiola's side struggle to make headway with a deal for Cucurella due to a £50m price tag, a move for Grimaldo could be a much more economical piece of business.

Your latest Manchester City news as Guardiola confirms plan for Zinchenko replacement while Haaland debut plans revealed.

Haaland was spotted on the bench in casual gear as he watched his new teammates take part in an intense fixture. It had been expected that the birthday boy would make his City debut at the NRG Stadium however Pep Guardiola opted to start Julian Alvarez instead. Cancelo played 45 minutes on the left against Club America in City's first pre-season game, and Wilson-Esbrand looked bright in the second half as a more traditional wide full-back.

The first day that I met him we took a car together and even after that ride I thought, “what a guy”. “But he’s looked good in training and once he reaches full fitness will be unstoppable. “I suppose if he misses a chance or whatever then people are always going to have something to say. “He had injury problems last season and tried to handle it. This season is the complete opposite. He can continue his levels after last year was his best for goals.”

ERLING HAALAND has made his presence known in the Manchester City dressing room, according to Jack Grealish.

An in-form Grealish would also provide a massive boost for Pep Guardiola after the former Villa star notched just three goals and three assists in the league last term. He actually said to me, 'I'm only half the price of you so I haven't got the pressure'. I suppose if he misses a chance or whatever then people are always going to have something to say. "Obviously it's always going to be big expectations but nowadays you have to deal with it. City locked down Haaland's signature early on, preventing what promised to be a dramatic summer of speculation involving the former Borussia Dortmund star. Grealish left many fans underwhelmed during his debut season after a Premier League record move from Aston Villa, but insists he is determined to make amends and form a fruitful partnership with Haaland.

He plays a similar type of football to Manchester City in possession, so I'm sure he'll be a good signing. Zinchenko has filled in manfully for a number of years now. You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. Speaking to Sky Sports News, the former Liverpool defender said: "I think Man City have always - really since Pep's been there - lacked a real outstanding left-back. Coming here was difficult in the summer, a new league, new country and new language. "Since Benjamin Mendy was arrested last summer, Manchester City have operated without a natural left-back. "Zinchenko's moved onto Arsenal so when you ask 'is he worth it,' Man City normally spend £40-50m on full-backs. "I think he's as good as anyone in the Premier League. He suits City's attacking style of play. "You're never quite sure who plays there every week, where you know it's Kyle Walker playing right-back. They must go again and focus on their perceived weaker areas. It is how Brighton like to operate. It is very special."

It is fair to say that City have experienced a busy summer transfer window of incomings and outgoings. Nagelsmann used a 4-4-2 formation on Thursday and could stick with the same setup on Sunday, although the likes of Muller, Kingsley Coman, Lucas Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard will all be pushing to start after beginning on the bench last time out. Considering that this fixture is the final warm-up match for both teams before the 2022-23 campaign begins, both Nagelsmann and Guardiola are set to name strong sides, although rotation throughout the match is expected. After their pre-season clash with Bayern on Sunday, the Citizens will return to England for the Community Shield against Liverpool next Saturday, before beginning the defence of their Premier League title away at West Ham United on August 7. With the prospect of at least one more addition in the form of left-back Marc Cucurella this summer, City are building a new-look squad hoping to challenge on all fronts once again, with an elusive Champions League crown and a fifth top-flight title in six seasons in their sights. Nagelsmann and co will be seeking revenge on Sunday and will be looking to end their pre-season tour of the USA on a high, before beginning the 2022-23 campaign against RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup on July 30.

The fans in Houston may have been hoping for Haaland, but City have shown they have enough superstars without him. When some players leave clubs, there may be some animosity, but there appears to be only goodwill for Zinchenko, as well as for Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling. It wasn't ideal for those staying up in the early hours in the UK. Another adjoining pitch had a local match going on, that promptly stopped when they realised Mahrez was there, and some wandered over for pictures. At one point, Zinchenko was shouting over a fence to another pitch, where Bernardo Silva appeared to be filming something. Maybe his knowledge comes from playing with Argentina international Ramiro Funes Mori as a child - a relationship that he says saw him take Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi on a night out once.

Albion have told Manchester City they will have to up their game considerably if they are to land Marc Cucurella.

That would suggest the often-quoted figure of £50 million would NOT necessarily be enough to take Cucurella to the Etihad. While they are not naming a price for Cucurella, the sale of Ben White to Arsenal last summer is widely being seen as some sort of guide. But the door has not yet been closed on the Premier League champions as they bid to sign the Seagulls’ player of the year.

Manchester City defender Nathan Ake was strongly linked with a transfer to Chelsea this summer but will stay at the Etihad.
