The tour of the United States will have been a positive experience for Julian Alvarez.
He was given plenty of minutes to stretch his legs and get up to speed with his new teammates against both Club America and Bayern Munich. Of course, the Argentine would have liked to have got himself on the scoresheet in either Houston or Green Bay but it was not for the want of trying.
A better touch here or a bit of luck there could have easily seen him get his first goal for Manchester City but it was not to be. Fortunately for a striker, the next game is always just around the corner and it could not be against a better opponent.
