Pep Guardiola has stoked the rivalry flames between Manchester’s top clubs, declaring that Manchester City will not suffer the same fate as Manchester United should he decide to leave the Etihad this summer.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has questioned Reece James’ impact as the team captain, saying he “expected more” from the 24-year-old defender in terms of leadership both on and off the pitch.
