Gary Neville insists Man United signings not good enough to help them challenge Man City or Arsenal
Gary Neville has criticised Manchester United's summer signings saying he never thought for one second that they would be good enough to help the Red Devils compete with Manchester City and Arsenal.
Manchester City made four changes to the starting line-up that lost 2-1 to Wolves at the weekend with Bernardo Silva back from injury and Rodri not suspended in Europe came in, alongside ex-Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol and Jack Grealish.
The game started with both teams attacking each other but it was Manchester City who opened the scoring of the night.
Lewis starts things off as he plays a one-two with Bernardo Silva before cutting the ball back to Phil Foden inside the box and the England forward produces an excellent finish.
The first half ended with Man City having control of the game and leading Leipzig with the home team having more to do in the second half.
Both teams came out for the second half and it was Leipzig who took off in a flying start and got the equaliser.
The move started with a loose pass in midfield by Jack Grealish and the home team broke on a counterattack.
Loïs Openda was then sent away and he held off a defender before tucking a shot in past the on-rushing Ederson into the back of the net.
Guardiola's men kept on pushing and took the lead when Jeremy Doku, who also came on at the same time as Julian Alvarez, teed up the forward on the edge of the area and Alvarez dug a stunning chip out that flew into the far corner.

City then got the third goal through a counterattack when Julian Alvarez played a fine ball into Jérémy Doku's path and he finished coolly with the game ending 3-1 in Germany.
