Why Reijnders will be 'an absolute nightmare' for Man City rivals

Manchester City fans have a new hero to adore in the shape of Tijjani Reijnders.
The 27-year-old Dutchman delivered an all-action performance on Saturday, contributing a goal and an assist, as City showed they mean business by thrashing Wolves away at Molineux.
Reijnders is only the second City player to both score and provide a goal on his Premier League debut, after Sergio Aguero, and if he achieves even half of what the Argentina striker did, he will be a sure-fire hit for the club.
Former England striker Alan Shearer told BBC Match of the Day: "He was sensational, it was almost the perfect midfield performance. It was incredible. He controlled the game at his pace.
"He is an absolute nightmare to play against because he is always on the move.
"The way he ran was a key part for Manchester City, he just kept going and going and Wolves didn't have the answer. He was brilliant at it, they couldn't cope with him."
