Juan Mata: No time to dwell on derby loss with Feyenoord looming

“It’s a doctor issue”, Guardiola said.

“I got a lot of criticism last season, which I thought was a bit unfair”, said Sterling.

“I got a lot of criticism previous year which I thought was a bit unfair”, he said. That’s why you have to be a little careful.

“I think they [fans] have learned to live with that [the risk] already”, the England worldwide told United Kingdom newspapers. “I am happy because we won and I scored”, said Ronaldo, who is seven shy of 100 Champions League goals.

Guardiola will welcome Sergio Aguero back from a domestic suspension, with captain Vincent Kompany and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan continuing to build their fitness, but much focus is likely to fall upon Bravo on his home debut following an erratic initial showing in City colours.

At Anfield, Liverpool delivered a vibrant attacking display to outclass Leicester City, with Roberto Firmino scoring twice and Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana finding the net as the champions’ limitations were exposed.

“On the contrary, it’s time to analyse the aspects of our game that we need to improve, and carry on with hope and motivation”. I like goalkeepers to play in front and after that [United] goal, he continued playing in our build-up, playing long balls and coming out to pick it up.

It’s not easy for him after two training sessions to come in here at Old Trafford and play with that personality, that means a lot.

And the contest saw the Blues, particularly in the first half, once again produce the sort of slick, passing football with which their new manager has for so always been associated.

Mourinho’s men did find a way back into the game through Zlatan Ibrahimovic but they failed to find the all-important equaliser.

Pogba has featured in every Premier League game for United, barring the opening game against Bournemouth.

“Now, after four games in the Premier League, I would like to tell our fans that, (while) we may be first, (with) the way we have played up until now, it will not be enough to win the title”.

Two players who are unlikely to need a morale boost from their boss are midfielders David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.

“We know that, so we try to dominate them with the way we want to play”.

“The problem was we needed to be more aggressive to win the first and second balls but we didn’t”.
