Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne after watching the Manchester City pair single-handedly dismantle Luton on Tuesday night .
But he resisted the offer to discuss Manchester United - up next - on three occasions in his post-match press conference. After confirming another injury setback for Jack Grealish, Guardiola declared De Bruyne and Haaland almost back to full fitness.
They were certainly back to their unstoppable best when they combined for City's first four goals, with Haaland adding a fifth of a very productive trip, and Mateo Kovacic getting in on the act late on.
It was another player, however, who Guardiola praised as an unsung hero from the 6-2 win, which he also insisted was not a perfect performance from City.
