When the dust had settled on the first Manchester derby on foreign soil, Pep Guardiola was left with more questions than answers in Houston.
Guardiola’s admission that Aleksandar Kolarov was left out of the game because he is set to return to Italy with Roma after the clubs agreed a £5.8million deal has put more pressure on the Manchester City manager to sign up to three defenders before the start of the new season.
Having spent £50million on Kyle Walker, who made his debut at the NRG Stadium, City hope to wrap up the £26.5million signing of the versatile Danilo from Real Madrid and remain locked in talks with Monaco over £40m-rated Benjamin Mendy.
