Bayern Munich manager Julian Naglesmann labelled Pep Guardiola "the best" ahead of Bayern Munich's pre-season friendly against Manchester City.
The Blues take on the Bundesliga champions in their second game of their pre-season tour of the United States and fans might well get their first glimpse of Erling Haaland in a City shirt. Kevin De Bruyne grabbed the headlines after their first pre-season victory over Club America, with the Belgian scoring both goals in a 2-1 win over their Mexican opposition.
Attention has now turned to a match against a far more formidable opponent in the form of German champions Bayern Munich. Bayern have won the last ten Bundesliga titles in a row and have been in good form during their pre-season tour so far - they beat MLS side DC United 6-2 in their last match thanks to goals from Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller and former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane.
