Manchester City are back in Houston again, and from their first few days in the USA, it's clear to see why they keep returning - and may well do so again.

From the moment the 40-degree heat and sticky humidity hits you when you step out of the air-conditioned terminal at Houston Airport and you rush into a taxi, the city's love for football is evident.
Definitely 'football', not 'soccer', as my driver was proud to point out. ALSO READ: Nathan Ake breaks silence on Man City to Chelsea transfer speculation He was well informed about the Premier League, football in the US, and knew straight away that this was the week City were visiting again.
