[Nigels Tackle]

absolutely love this lad. looks like he's been part of the first team for years!

[salford city]

Leave him in for blue scouse he could be right back for the next 15 years. He likes a tackle which is novel these days. Very impressed with the kid you don't get a free pass in our team

[Mase]

Bloody hell, don’t let John see this!!

[Outcast]

Dare I say it has the potential to surpass Reece James if he carries on. Mind you that tit can't stay fit.

[Mase]

Apparently the media don’t know where he’s from. He’s from Bury.

Fair enough- obviously confusing him with Cole Palmer

[Harry Dowd scored]

Only saw the highlights but looked really good, one recovery tackle was sensational looks like an old head on young shoulders too

They do look similar to be fair. Wouldn’t expect anything less from the British media!

I am very pleased you have finally found something about City that makes you happy.

Can't beat a bit of Rico. Us Bury lads are made of stern stuff.

[sheblue]

It's been clear for a while now that pep really rates him.
He's been great so far.

[Outcast]

I think he's old man is a retired professional boxer and runs his own gym. Apparently rico spent considerable time there where he learnt discipline.

Neville not included though. Either of them. Knocks me sick they’re from Greenmount.

My mate used to go to his dads gym. Said Reeks was in there from 3. He’s small in height but he’s leather most people.

I imagine being in a martial arts gym from a young age he’ll have the right mentality to succeed.

Manchester City are planning to reward Rico Lewis with a new contract after the 18-year-old broke into Pep Guardiola’s first team.

Lewis has impressed since making his debut earlier this season, starting each of City’s three matches after the World Cup and lessening the club’s need to recruit a new full back.

The academy graduate still has more than four years to run on his current deal but the Premier League champions are keen to renegotiate terms over the coming weeks.

Lewis will follow a similar path to fellow homegrown talents Phil Foden and Cole Palmer, both of whom secured pay increases after making their mark in Guardiola’s squad in recent seasons. Talks with the teenager are not yet under way but he can expect to earn a significant increase on his current wages of about £5,000 a week.

Contracts for both Foden and Palmer contained sizeable incentives — including triggers after a specific number of appearances — to continue blossoming at first-team level.

Discussions over Lewis’s future are expected to go smoothly. City have a strong relationship with the player’s agency, who also represent Palmer and Kyle Walker.

The England Under 19 international, who joined City’s academy a decade ago, has been publicly praised by Guardiola, who believes he has the tools to become a mainstay at the Etihad Stadium.
