Sky Sports News reporter Ben Ransom on Manchester Citys pre-season victory over Club America in Houston, which involved some Kevin De Bruyne brilliance, ...

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.

In the early hours of Thursday morning, Manchester City fans caught a glimpse of how Marc Cucurella would fit into the team, despite him still being a ...

While Cancelo was excellent last season, City did at times suffer from a lack of width when he was on the left. "If it doesn't happen we have alternatives with Joao [Cancelo], Josh [Wilson-Esbrand] is a young talent, Nathan [Ake] can play there. Following the agreement to sell Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal for around £30m, City submitted an official bid for the Spanish left-back.

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.

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.

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.

After insisting Neymar will not become a Manchester City player in this transfer window, Pep Guardiola has revealed which Premier League player the Citizens ...

Although the 23-year-old made just one senior appearance for the Catalan giants, Cucurella has spent time at Eibar and Getafe in Spain, playing more than 100 first-team matches between those two clubs. The fullback has impressed in England following his arrival in August last year, and was as voted Brighton's Player of the Season at their in-house awards ceremony at the end of the 2021/21 season. Cucurella, who has played just once for Spain so far, is considered among the brightest emerging left-backs in Europe despite being let go by Barcelona.

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.

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."

After a busy week in Houston, Manchester City head to Green Bay for the next leg of their pre-season tour - and MEN Sport's Joe Bray has been in Texas with ...

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.

Despite City's strong interest in the defender, it has become clear in recent days that the Cityzens and Brighton are still no closer to agreeing on a fee for the Spain international. The left-back played 35 times for the club as they secured a top-half Premier League finish for the first time in their history. The club are believed to have a list of alternatives, or may even stick with their current left-back options, so they won't wait around for the Spaniard forever.
