Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Jack Grealish this week.

The Spaniard went to great lengths to point out the importance of Grealish in his squad.

The England winger was close to his best against BSC Young Boys in midweek in the Champions League.

"The plan is for him to play like he did in Switzerland," Guardiola told reporters of Grealish starting against Manchester United on Sunday.

"We trust a lot in him. We know his ability and he has to fight with his mates to play a lot and play as best as possible in every single action, every single minute, every single game.

"We need him, we need everyone. I am very pleased for the game he played."
