Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez send messages to Pep Guardiola following Man City transfers

Manchester City duo Joao Cancelo and Erling Haaland each got their names on the scoresheet as the June internationals continued on Sunday evening.

Cancelo — who excelled for City in the domestic season just gone, netting three goals and racking up a very impressive 10 assists — scored to help Portugal register a 4-0 win over Switzerland and wrap up their first victory of this current Nations League campaign. He netted Fernando Santos' side's fourth goal with 68 minutes on the clock after Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice, and William Carvalho had found the net in the first-half.

Cancelo was teed up by substitute and City team-mate Bernardo Silva, so Manchester's Portuguese contingent played a key role in helping the country record a convincing win in Lisbon. It lifted them to the top of their Nations League group.
