Roberts: I can make it at Man City despite big-money competition

Patrick Roberts revealed Pep Guardiola gave him some words of encouragement after scoring against Manchester City on Tuesday night, and says he is ready to make an impact when he returns to the Etihad Stadium as a City player.

Roberts is on loan at Celtic and appeared to relish scoring against the Blues in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The winger agreed an 18-month deal with the Scottish champions in January, before Guardiola arrived at City, and his chances of a successful future at the club appear to have been minimised by the summer signings of Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus, among others.
