I’ll be City ace, insists Roberts

“[Guardiola] came up to me afterwards and said “hello” and “well done”, so that was nice of him”, said the 19-year-old, who accepts his display will provide no guarantees of a long-term future at the Etihad Stadium. I know what I am capable of. It is about what you do on the pitch, not how…

Signed from AFC Wimbledon at the age of 13, Roberts shone in Fulham’s youth sides and has been a regular for England at every age group since under-16s.

UEFA has started disciplinary proceedings against Celtic for the behaviour of their supporters during Tuesday’s Champions League game at Manchester City.

The best chance of the second half arrived with only eight minutes remaining when Mackay-Steven broke in behind the defence, but Caballero stood up well and got a strong hand to the ball to turn it past the post.

Both Chelsea and City are said to be keen on snapping him up, and a move to either club would be a huge move for the starlet. “[City are in touch with me] all the time”.

“Then you play within a game model that allows you to flourish”.

Superintendent Craig Thompson of Greater Manchester Police Specialist Operations Branch added: “The majority of fans were extremely well behaved and I hope everybody has a safe journey home”.

“Whenever I get the chance to play, I try to do that and get goals and assists”. Matches are on TV as well.

And, with reports claiming the France Under-21s star is on £15,000-a-week at Celtic Park, some of Europe’s biggest clubs are thought to be keen on tempting him away.

“Who knows, you don’t know what’s going to happen in football”.

With their next league match not until late on Saturday, did Guardiola really need to rest so many players, when a winless Celtic represented a fantastic opportunity for City to find their rhythm once more? It’s no good him sitting on the bench. Asked how he felt after a group-stage campaign in which City won two of its six games, Guardiola said: “We’re in the (last 16) my friend”.

“I follow City when I can”.

“There is great expectation at Celtic”.

Fans applauded the players when they arrived back at the airport from Oporto but Leicester manager Ranieri was far from impressed.

They troubled City’s back three of experienced full-backs Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna and youngster Tosin Adarabioyo in the early stages. Their behaviour is always flawless so I am so happy to give them the opportunity to play in the Champions League.The game was good for the spectators, both teams tried to attack.
