Maresca takes charge as City fail to bid £120m for Enzo Fernández before Chelsea deadline

Enzo Maresca took charge of Manchester City for the first time in a major match against Arsenal in the Community Shield in Cardiff on Sunday, with coverage from the 3pm BST kick-off.

Manchester City did not make a £120m bid for Enzo Fernández before Chelsea’s 5pm deadline on Friday, and Chelsea now expect the Argentina midfielder to stay at Stamford Bridge.

Maresca still expects a busy end to the transfer window as the club seek incomings and outgoings and is a long way from finalising the squad for the season; Fernández, who played under Maresca at Chelsea, remains a target for City and the club could still test the water despite missing the deadline.
