MOYES ON J-LINGZ:

David Moyes, who has named two keepers on the bench, has admitted this week he was surprised Jesse Lingard rejected the club to move to Notts Forest.
“I was surprised, yeah.
“I thought Jesse in the end would come here, and I’ve got to say the club made him a really good offer.
“You couldn’t turn around and say David Sullivan and the owners didn’t do everything they could to get him. They certainly did.”

PEP ON FUTURE:

With a year left on his City contract, Pep Guardiola has revealed this week he will take a break from the game if he does not commit his long-term future to the club.
He said: "Everything is fluid. I don't have perspective in the future to say (what will happen).
'I'm pretty sure I am happy here and at the end I'm going to stay and, if not, it's not because I want to move forward or move to another place.
"It's because I will stop, I will take a break. This is my thoughts right now.
"First, obviously, I am here because we won; otherwise I would not be here. I have good professionals and they are friends but my friends are not stupid and it is a business and they need results."
