Manchester City starlet Rico Lewis's superb first-half display in a friendly against Bayern Munich showed his first team credentials.

The versatile midfielder, who can also play as a full back, was outstanding on the club's Asia Tour.

City beat Bayern 2-1 in Tokyo, with former City and England central defender Steve Howey very impressed by Lewis.

He told the City website: “Rico obviously had a taste of it last season and probably thought to himself in his private moments 'I want more of this.

“That performance today is proof to everyone that he could be an integral part of the new season.

“Rico showed such good strength in the first goal. He had the presence of mind to look up and find his teammate."
