Pep Guardiola fired Man City transfer warning as James McAtee and Phil Foden comparison made

Manchester City celebrated their biggest victory in six years with an 8-0 demolition of Salford City in the FA Cup. After a two-month period of struggle, City fans saw Pep Guardiola's put on an impressive display at the expense of their League Two neighbours in a performance that saw a perfect blend of youth and experience. Manchester Evening News readers are thrilled with the win.

Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes put on one of their best performances of the season to take the game away from Salford City, while Divin Mubama and Nico O'Reilly netted their first goals for the club. James McAtee scored a hat-trick in the second half as City shifted gears, although they did fall short of the crowd's wish for ten goals.

Commenter Gizzie says: “This was a really enjoyable match to watch. Good skills shown by both teams and Salford were unlucky not to net a couple. The goals were great and showed the skills of the younger players, who looked confident alongside more experienced players.

"I'm sure Pep will have enjoyed the game too being able to fully assess some of his squad, and their level of play. Who, and how to use each player in further more challenging league games. Well done to the mighty Ake, the amazing Doku, and great Gundogan!”

Lazerblue agrees: “A win and loads of goals, regardless who the opposition are, how good is that? Excellent. So pleased for McAtee, he has had to wait too long, but slowly he is showing what he can do.”

Steve2012 adds: “Good day, plenty of goals, youngsters getting a chance and no injuries. Pleased for McAtee, hopefully he can now breakthrough as Bobb did at this stage last season. O'Reilly was impressive out of his usual position. Mubama had great energy still running and chasing at the end
