Manchester City Under-18 manager Jason Wilcox is beaming with pride over the progress of Cameron Humphreys and Manu Garcia.

Humphreys and Garcia impressed during City's tour of Australia this summer and the duo are held in high regard by the club hierarchy.

Humphreys was recently awarded with a new professional contract by City while Garcia is widely tipped to break into the first team in the future, and Wilcox is very proud of the progress the duo have been making in their respective careers.

Wilcox told the Manchester Evening News: "It makes me extremely proud. When I look at Manu and Cameron's journey we had some really frank conversations along the way, and you've got to have that with the players. As long as you're honest and have a development plan for them then I think they don't like it at the time, but those two in particular embraced what I had to tell them.

"Manu has had to adapt to a different culture, different style of football if you like and he's done it extremely well. It's no surprise to me whatsoever that he's done extremely well because of the type of lad he is.

"We've just had a group of Under-10s in the corridor and I brought Manu in to speak to them because he still lives at the CFA and he's a really humble kid who has got tremendous personal skills as well as ability.

"Cameron's exactly the same. He's been training, playing in front of 100,000 against Real Madrid. When he came back here the first thing he did was to come and watch his mates training. That tells me a lot about them and they're the type of people that we want to bring to our football club."
