​Man City boss Guardiola admits to centre-back chase

Manchester United manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that he is currently looking to acquire the services of a new centre back.

Guardiola has spent well over £100million on improving his backline this summer but despite such a huge outlay, the Spaniard has gone on to reveal that he is looking to acquire a central defender during the final few days of the summer transfer window, with Jonny Evans strongly linked with the Citizens.

He said: "We have just three central defenders right now and we have Tosin and Mangala. What is the best for the club?

"We're going to see what is the best for him and for everybody. He knows the situation from last season. Now we may be looking for a central defender - and they knew that last season - at the beginning of the season."
