Man City boss Guardiola: At 18, Wilshere had me saying 'wow'

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has spoken of his admiration for Jack Wilshere.

The Arsenal midfielder will face City with Bournemouth today.

Guardiola said: "When I was the coach of Barcelona, he made his debut at 18. He was so young.

"I said: 'Wow. This player is really good'. Unfortunately, he suffered a lot of injuries. I wish him the best.

"I hope he can play regularly for Bournemouth and not suffer more injuries. He is a special player in the way he can attack a central defender."
