Man City boss Guardiola pleased with early Torres form

Pep Guardiola says Ferran Torres has settled 'really well' at Manchester City.

The Spaniard, signed from Marseille in the summer, scored his third goal for City in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Marseille.

"He has settled really well," Guardiola said after the game. "Ferran is not a striker. I would congratulate him for making the effort to play in this position.

"He scored the goal. It is not easy as a striker against five defenders.

"We don't have many options until Sergio and Gabriel come back, so we had an alternative playing Ferran in this position."
