Man City fans react to Pep Guardiola's Angelino decision vs Manchester United

Manchester City fans think Angelino will have to be on top of his game after he was named ahead of Benjamin Mendy in the team to face Manchester United on Saturday tea time.

City know anything less than a win will extend the gap between themselves and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, and Pep Guardiola's starting XI reflected the desire to win at the Etihad.

Fernandinho continued in central defence, partnered by John Stones, with Angelino and Kyle Walker at full-back.

Rodri, Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva made up the midfield, with Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus in attack.

Fans felt Angelino could struggle against the pace of Daniel James in the United attack, but equally thought deserved the chance after a promising performance in the midweek win over Burnley.
