I never used the media to explain what I wanted from Zlatan on the pitch, never. "The people can say many, many things, but I was so clear and direct to him."Both Guardiola's City and Jose Mourinho's United have made perfect starts to the Premier League campaign and Saturday's winner will top the table outright should Chelsea fail to claim a fourth victory.</blockquote>
