Pep Guardiola sends Man City warning about Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag and defender Lisandro Martinez

Now, ahead of Sunday's first derby of the season, Guardiola said he has been impressed by United's progress in a short time under Ten Hag, warning his City players to be ready for a tough game.

United have overhauled their squad this summer, with a number of new signings set to feature at the Etihad - including Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez, who Guardiola said will be dangerous if City underestimate him purely because of his height.
