City’s De Bruyne hails coach Guardiola for flying start to EPL season

Dietmar Hamann played for four different clubs in the English top flight including a three-year spell at Man City, who beat Mourinho’s United 2-1 in his first Manchester derby.

Anthony Martial is “doomed” at Manchester United while Jose Mourinho is in charge, according to Tony Cascarino.

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

Paul Pogba flashed a 25-yard strike over the net in the seventh minute following neat interplay from Wayne Rooney and full debutante Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but United’s forward talents were forced to feed off scraps as City’s sharp passing pinned the hosts back.

Iheanacho repaid his manager’s faith in him, setting up Kevin De Bruyne for the first goal before doubling the lead with an easy finish past David De Gea.

The same can not be said of Moenchengladbach, who City beat twice in the group phase last season before going on to reach the semi-finals for the first time.

Lingard, who came through the ranks at Old Trafford, spent loan spells at Leicester, Birmingham and Brighton before establishing himself as a regular in the United side last season.

United’s defeat was its first in the league this season, ending its ideal start to the English Premier League season under Mourinho.

“Kevin had an unbelievable, amazing game”, Guardiola said.

“We know his quality and what he’s able to do”. We create, but in front we need more. We have got to go a little bit away from the physical game in the PremierLeague, because we are not as strong as other teams. “The season will be busy because of those (Europa League) fixtures and we must now be ready for that”. “He [Rashford] is going to play is the only thing I can say”.

“We didn’t have the time”, the City manager said ahead of the Champions League opener against Borussia Moenchengladbach at the Etihad Stadium, according to the BBC.
