Pep Guardiola spoke with Manchester City midfielder Tommy Doyle before the youngster headed out on loan to Sheffield United this week. Doyle, 20, sealed a second successive loan spell in the Championship after impressing at Cardiff for the second half of last season, and has been rewarded with a move up the division to the Blades, who will target a return to the Premier League.
