00:00One of the most exciting youngsters in the game.
00:03Norwegian midfielder Bob, whose talent has been nurtured in City's academy, played 26 senior games in all competitions last season, including two starts in the Premier League.
00:13City were on the verge of losing for a fourth successive year in the Community Shield, the match that traditionally is contested by the league champions and FA Cup winners.
00:22Alejandro Garnaccio, who scored in United's 2-1 FA Cup final win over City, netted again at Wembley in the 82nd minute before Bob showed great skill to create space in cross for Bernardo Silva to head an 89th-minute equaliser.
00:35It's a great feeling, first time we have won it in three, four years and to do it with a young group is great," said Bob.
00:41We had belief all the way through.
00:44We kept going, didn't get too downbeat.
00:48Former England striker Ian Wright, speaking on ITV, called Bob one of the most exciting youngsters in the game and added,
00:54when he gets it under control, he goes from zero to very quick.
00:58He was the one that was committing people and anything really positive was coming from Bob.
01:03When you get someone who wants to take players on, it gets people off their seat.
01:08A deal that suits all parties.

01:18Julian Alvarez helped Argentina win the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
01:23Alvarez joined City in January 2022 in a £14m deal from River Plate, although he remained with the Argentine side for the rest of that season.
01:32He was worth the wait for City, scoring 20 goals in 67 Premier League matches, helping them to the Premier League title in both of his full seasons.
01:41However, Alvarez, who also won the Champions League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup with City,
01:47was sometimes left out because of the relentless goal-scoring form of team-mate Erling Haaland.
01:52I would be staggered if Manchester City don't replace Alvarez with an out-and-out striker, added ex-Scotland forward Ali McCoyst on ITV.
02:00You can't go into the season with just one available.
02:04Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane took a similar view, saying, there are certain deals that suit all parties.
02:11Atletico are getting a great player in Julian Alvarez, Man City are getting a good profit, so it works for everybody.
02:18I'd still be amazed if Man City don't go out and spend that money on a striker.
02:23Substitute Savinho shows skills.

02:34Savinho joined Manchester City earlier this summer.
02:38City gave a competitive debut to their latest signing, Brazil winger Savinho,
02:42who moved from French side Troyes in a deal worth £30.8m last month.
02:47He came on for Jeremy Doku in the 63rd minute and made an instant impact with a jinking run,
02:52before he had a shot saved moments later and almost found Haaland following another dribble.
02:57Guardiola liked what he saw from his latest signing.
03:01He made a good impact playing both sides.
03:04On the left he has incredible quality attacking the byline, Guardiola said.
03:09Always with wingers, if you have the confidence, attack the defenders.
03:14He did really well for 35 minutes.
03:17I saw many things I liked from my team.
03:20City have won the Premier League title four years in a row and again will be the team to beat in 2024-25.
03:27They have now won a remarkable 18 trophies since Guardiola joined in 2016,
03:32six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, the Champions League,
03:36the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup and now three Community Shields.
03:40Manchester City.
