“I didn’t watch the first game,” said Guardiola. “I saw the second one. I saw Jack really well in the position behind the striker in a more central position. 

“I was very pleased, (all three of our England players) came back not injured, fit and good. 

“Yeah, he can play (as a No.10), we know it. He was an exceptional player at Aston Villa and an exceptional player here. 

“He made half a good first season, second was unbelievably excellent season and last season was not as good.

“And this season start apart - from the niggles - really good. Hopefully he can do a good season.”
