Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola’s comments on Manuel Akanji ⬇️
PEP 💬 [On Akanji] He trained one day and a half with us but he showed what experience he has at Dortmund and what a good central defender Manchester City brought to us. He has quality similar like Aymeric – he can break the lines with the pass. He reads really well the spaces. pic.twitter.com/IcRCWWxGjS
