Liverpool sensation Mo Salah has remained level-headed in his assessment of the title race despite his team's 4-0 destruction of Manchester United on Tuesday evening.

Here are your Manchester City evening headlines for Tuesday, April 19.

The race for Erling Haaland is not over, according to a family friend.

Borussia Dortmund fans have claimed Manchester City will be getting a "bigger flop than Jack Grealish" in their incoming striker Erling Haaland.City are looking to follow up their £100million acquisition of Grealish from last summer with another mega move for Haaland this year. Since his arrival at the Etihad the England international has registered just two goals and two assists in 21 Premier League games.Haaland, who is reported to have agreed personal terms on a £500k-per-week contract to join Pep Guardiola's side, has only managed to make 20 Bundesliga appearances himself in what has been an injury-hit season.

Nathan Ake might not have been the first name on Pep Guardiola's teamsheet this season, but recent performances in huge games have seen him prove his worth at Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola of having "over-Pepped it" during Manchester City's costly FA Cup semi-final defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.The Spaniard's side suffered a 3-2 loss at Wembley as the Reds ran riot in the first 45 minutes. Ibrahima Konate headed home the opener before Sadio Mane hit a double - the first after capitalising on a catastrophic error from City's stand-in stopper Zach Steffen.Both Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva struck to give Guardiola's men a lifeline in the second period, however it proved too little too late as City were punished for their faltering first-half display.

Manchester City and Liverpool are both lauded for their attacking play, with Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp each having incredible attacking players at their disposal. But while the prowess of Premier League top goalscorer Mohamed Salah and prolific midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is remarkable, the title race will likely be decided by the ability to stop goals rather than score them.

Manchester City’s summer pursuit of Harry Kane is well documented, as Pep Guardiola identified the Tottenham talisman as his preferred striking target and sought to acquire his services for the best part of three months. City began the season with Gabriel Jesus as their only recognised centre-forward, and Guardiola prefers to play the Brazilian on the wing.

Manchester City have held more talks over their proposed move for Erling Haaland. The English champions are strong favourites to land the brilliant Norwegian striker from Borussia Dortmund - ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester City fans were relieved to see Kevin De Bruyne make the bench as Pep Guardiola rang the changes for their FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.
