Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was impressed with Jack Grealish's performance against Manchester United on Sunday.

Guardiola praised Grealish's decision making in the match after he made a number of exciting runs down the flank.

And the Englishman has been challenged by his manager to turn those runs into goal scoring involvements, like team-mates Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez.

"He was excellent," Guardiola said of Grealish to BBC Sport. "[At one] moment he will understand in the final third, 'this ball is from me'. He is very generous.

"When you see Phil [Foden] and Riyad [Mahrez] in that moment, it is their ball. This is the next step for Jack, but in terms of decision-making, and using players in space, he was exceptional."
