Jamie Carragher reveals who he thinks will be Pep Guardiola’s first Manchester City signing

For all of the Barcelona and Bayern Munich superstars being linked with a move to Manchester City 2.0, it will probably be a less high-profile name that is first in the door with Pep Guardiola.

That's not saying that Alvaro Morata isn't a big name, he's just not up there with the Lionel Messis and Robert Lewandowskis of the world. You wouldn't have guessed that from his showing on Wednesday night though as the Juventus front man was, along with Paul Pogba, a ray of shining light for the Old Lady.
Marauding runs like this led Jamie Carragher to reveal that he believes Guardiola would make a swift move for the 23-year-old in the summer. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/710209125788065792 Morata also had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside against Guardiola's Bayern Munich and his side's reliance on him became clear with the fact that Juventus had led 2-0 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate before he was substituted off. When Mario Mandzukic replaced him, Juve fell to smithereens and conceded two before the 90th minute, and a further two in extra time to go crashing out of the Champions League. The whole of Twitter, like Carragher, was left in awe at the contribution of the former Real Madrid striker. https://twitter.com/stighefootball/status/710212908089794564 https://twitter.com/SanBorussia/status/710217954265272320 https://twitter.com/stighefootball/status/710218283895627776 https://twitter.com/saveciaranmurph/status/710218435779813376 https://twitter.com/MC_of_A/status/710219879857532928 https://twitter.com/AA_Richards/status/710220614964006913 https://twitter.com/GaffneyVLC/status/710227596873764865 https://twitter.com/Zonal_Marking/status/710228872625782784 https://twitter.com/AA_Richards/status/710229170354307072
