Pep Guardiola describes Tijjani Reijnders as a "lovely guy" and "top signing" as the Dutchman shines on his Premier League debut for Manchester City.

Manchester City’s Dutch international Tijjani Reijnders put in a man-of-the-match display at Molineux. There was little doubt that Tijjani Reijnders was the man-of-the-match in Manchester City’s win over Wolves yesterday.

Manchester City began the 2025–26 campaign with a routine 4–0 victory away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.

Manchester City have had plenty of world-class players pass through the Etihad Stadium in recent years as they have dominated the Premier League. But only one has managed to accomplish a feat that Premier League debutant Tijjani Reijnders managed in City’s 4-0 demolition of Wolves on Saturday evening.

MANCHESTER City slipped comfortably back into their old routine at Molineux. Two quick-fire first-half goals got their season off to a flier, Erling Haaland’s third just after the hour killed off

Erling Haaland and new signings Tijjani Reinders and Rayan Cherki combined as Manchester City thrashed Wolves 4-0 in their Premier League opener. Haaland struck twice either side of a fine effort from Reijnders, and substitute Cherki added a late fourth, as City began their quest for a seventh title in nine years in convincing fashion at Molineux.

It was also a performance that Jamie Redknapp did not predict pre-match. Speaking on Sky Sports’ match coverage immediately before kick off, Redknapp was asked whether he thought Manchester City would compete with Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League title this season.
