Man City complete 2022 summer tour schedule with Bayern Munich friendly

A friendly against Mexican side Club America at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas was announced last week for July 20; the stadium hosted the first-ever Manchester derby outside of the UK in 2017, a match that saw a young Phil Foden leave Guardiola speechless with the quality of his performance. And the Blues will complete their short Stateside jaunt by taking on Bayern Munich at Lambeau Field on July 23.

January signing Julian Alvarez will travel to try to earn a place in Guardiola's first-team squad for the following season, while the Blues will also hope to have landed primary transfer target Erling Haaland by then. The US friendlies are expected to be the only two City play ahead of the season starting on August 6, although
