The Argentinian scored City’s goal in the 3-1 Community Shield defeat against Liverpool after appearing as a second-half substitute.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Manchester City's Julian Alvarez celebrates scoring his side's first goal yesterday. 

Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez hopes to be able to offer manager Pep Guardiola “different solutions” after upstaging his fellow new signing Erling Haaland in their 3-1 Community Shield defeat to Liverpool.

While City’s much-vaunted £51million arrival from Borussia Dortmund managed just 16 touches in 90 minutes and missed an open goal from six yards late on Alvarez made an instant impact.
