"I had Enzo at City Under-21s for a season and then he went to Parma and then when I went up with Pep (Guardiola) he came back as Pep’s assistant," he said.

"He’s a good coach, a really good coach. I think tactically he knows what he is doing. He’s a good coach and he will improve a lot of the players.

"Enzo was the one who put me at right-wing. So from the 18s I was playing 10 and when I went to the 23s Enzo played me on the right. That was my first full season on the right."
