Pep Guardiola’s men were beaten 3-2 in an entertaining clash in front of a sellout Yankee Stadium.
Goals from Erling Haaland and James McAtee weren’t enough to grab the win, but there were plenty of positives to take from our clash in New York.
And Lewis feels our overall display was a marked improvement on our pre-season opener against Celtic.
He reflected: “It’s pre-season, we’re trying to get back into the rhythm of winning but also the rhythm of how we play.
“Today was a better performance than the last game, we’re showing more composure on the ball and getting the pictures that we want to get and what we practice in training.
“At the end of the day, we’ve lost the game but luckily it’s pre-season, this is the time when you can afford to.
“I’m feeling better than I expected, I didn’t expect to play both games for 90 minutes, but the manager asked me how I was, and I felt fine, so I carried on.
“I’ve not been cramping up or anything so it’s all good.”
