Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted his admiration for Bruno Fernandes.

City will host Fernandes and Manchester United today.

Guardiola said: "Exceptional player, especially the consistency.

"Plays every single game in every single competition. I admire that a lot. Every time he has the ball, something will happen. Free kicks, set pieces, connections with Rashford, Garnacho, all the strikers they have there. A really important player."

Asked if Fernandes and Luke Shaw could make City's XI, he replied: "That is football fantasies. I don't like."
