City head coach Guardiola has been a long-time admirer of England star Kane, trying and failing to bring the striker to Manchester ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Jorginho atoned for his earlier error with an equaliser from the spot as Chelsea recovered to draw 1-1 with Michael Carrick s Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

No ever-present Premier League team have earned fewer points from losing positions than Chelsea since Thomas Tuchel s arrival in January, but Jadon Sancho s first goal in the competition after Jorginho s blunder was followed by similarly generous United defending.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka s foul on Thiago Silva teed up a Jorginho penalty, with a point – taking the Blues clear of Manchester Cit…
