Though the boss lavished praise on hat-trick hero James McAtee, he also was keen to highlight the contribution of three of his other young charges who all impressed in the win over Salford City.
“I’m really pleased for Jahmai and Nico - who played for the first time in his life at left back,” said Guardiola.
“He has the conditions to play holding midfielder, but maybe he doesn’t believe he can play this.
“He’s another talent that we trust a lot.
“Divin’s movement is unbelievable. The way he moves in the right tempo and how he presses.
“For the first goal it looks easy, but how he makes the counter movement for the defender is really good.”
