"When I saw Spain, I saw him, and he was at the level he has been playing for many years. His consistency was good. To be in the race is fantastic for him, his family, friends, and of course, Manchester City. We are so proud,"said Guardiola to reporters. Manchester City are currently on their USA pre-season tour and will play against Scottish side Celtic on Wednesday.
