“This summer is a complicated time for Manchester City and their fans, who must wait for Guardiola’s decision to know whether they can trust the unstoppable Erling Haaland.

‘The situation is becoming uncertain, but one thing is certain: without Pep Guardiola, the Norwegian has already made up his mind that his time in Manchester will be over.’

Haaland failed to score at the weekend and was seen limping off during Manchester City’s surprise 2-1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth. Despite this, they will start the Champions League group stages against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday night.

At the pre-match press conference, Guardiola was asked to give an update on Haaland. He said clearly: “He’s fine.”

He continued: “Manu (Akanji) and Nathan (Ake) are still having problems. Kevin (De Bruyne) is getting better, he’s doing less and less painful sessions, so we think he’s feeling more comfortable. This is good news for all of us.

“Kyle (Walker) has also had knee problems since he started playing for the national team. (Jeremy) Doku has muscle problems, Savinho’s ankle problem is getting better. The rest is fine.”
