Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola revealed his decision
to start Kelechi Iheanacho in the derby came down to sending a message to his
players about his intentions at Old Trafford.
The teenage Nigeria international rewarded his boss with a
goal and an assist in City’s 2-1 win over Manchester United on Saturday.
With Sergio Aguero suspended, Guardiola said he had other
options, but opted for Iheanacho to show his players what he wanted.
“He was the only striker we had in that moment,” the
Spaniard said. “I thought about many other options, but I thought in the
beginning to show to my players that I came to win the game.”
Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring before Iheanacho doubled
the lead, only for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to net before the break.
