@Erling_Haaland: "It was a good pre-season for me, I've never felt better. I don't have any pain in my body for the first time in a long time. So that's amazing. You can also push yourself more because you don't have something in the back of your head..."

@Erling_Haaland: "It's incredible how relaxed the Man City defenders, Ederson, the midfielders are with the ball; it's ridiculous. I don't understand how they can do it, so all praise to them, seriously..."

@Erling_Haaland: "To be Man City captain was amazing, I enjoyed it. We have one captain [Kyle Walker], but there's so many leaders, you may not see it. How calm the defence is, how much confidence they give, keeping the ball easy, we have a lot of leaders..."

5️⃣ opening day goals in the last 3️⃣ Premier League seasons! 🙌

Erling Haaland is inevitable! 👊

@Erling_Haaland: "I'm so happy to be at Man City and for Pep [Guardiola] to push us, and to keep pushing us now, throughout the season, because there's going to be a lot of games, so I'm ready to go again!"

Jeremy Doku: “As a dribbler I like it when players take on their man. Savinho is a player that does that and takes a lot of risks. I remember my first game – I was stressed a lot so coming here to Man City and starting your first game against Chelsea and putting in that sort of performance… congratulations to him! I respect that a lot and I think there is still more to come from him. We’re very happy to have him with us!” 🤝

Jeremy Doku: “Happy with the performance but I CAN DO BETTER with the final pass. I’m going to watch this game back and see what I can improve for the next game. I want to play a big impact and big role in this team. I want to be decisive and get some goals and assists!” 😤💪

Lu Martin: “Ilkay Gundogan has the doors open to return to Man City - for free, of course. Pep Guardiola will NOT leave him behind, but City will NOT pay @BarcelonaEn for him!” ‼️

Both @BarcelonaEn and Ilkay Gundogan prefer the option of a move to Man City this summer; Man City know him, the midfielder wants to continue with a winning project, and @BarcelonaEn are interested in Joao Cancelo.

[via 10JoseAlvarez]

João Cancelo is ‘being pushed’ to @Hilal_Al by Man City. His playing time will be low at Man City this season, @BarcelonaEn want the player and have asked him to wait but the wait is risky. Al-Hilal have offered Cancelo $18m per year.

[SportsZone__]

🚨🔵 Understand @BarcelonaEn have 100% decided to let Ilkay Gündogan leave for free.

Manchester City are working on details of the deal with Gündogan’s agent now in UK to get the comeback done.

As revealed earlier, Pep Guardiola said YES. ✅

Up to Gündo’s green light ⏳

Lui Martin on Ilkay Gundogan: “At that time [Oct 2023] he didn't have a house, he lived in a hotel, left to his fate by the club [Barcelona]. Shortly after he rented an apartment, until he found a place with his wife and baby. They had to help from Manchester.”
