Pep Guardiola hints at how new signing can improve Man City this season

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Pep Guardiola is convinced that Savinho will be able to help Manchester City more than once a week. The Brazilian, City's only summer signing so far, started his pre-season last week and came off the bench in the Community Shield to make his debut for the club.

He had a hand in Bernardo Silva's equaliser and then kept his cool to score a penalty in the shootout as City ran out winners over United.

Guardiola is particularly impressed by the versatility of his new signing, meaning he is able to use him as an inverted winger or a natural winger depending on what the particular game calls for.

With Jeremy Doku also able to do that, it opens up the option of City having two natural wingers stretching the play on both sides.
