Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo hails new manager Enzo Maresca's style of play as "music to my ears" after showcasing early signs of his role under the Italian.

Antoine Semenyo scored 21 goals across all competitions for club and country last season Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo has hailed new manager Enzo Maresca's style of play as "music to my ears" after showcasing early signs of his role under the Italian. City were defeated on penalties by Inter Milan in Maresca's first game in charge in Hong Kong, but the side demonstrated the attacking intent the new boss will deploy after replacing Pep Guardiola. Semenyo played the opening 45 minutes and gave Inter full-back Andy Diouf a torrid time with his pace and direct running, helping to set up Divine Mukasa's goal for City. Substitute Ryan McAidoo also impressed and Maresca said afterwards they are the "kind of wingers I love" - ones that are "very aggressive" and take on their man in "one-v-one" situations". Semenyo said: "When he got appointed, that was the first thing I thought about because when you've played Chelsea previously when he was there, his wide men were always high and quite free. "So that was one of the things that excited me the most when he got appointed and it's exciting for me as a winger. I get to have one-v-one situations most of the game and I am looking forward to it. "I have had individual meetings with him on how he wants to set up, how he wants to play his wide men and just overall as a team.
