Manchester City entered the fourth circular of the FA Cup, while James Mcatee marked a hat-trick on a break of City Salford of League two at the Etihad stadium.
Jeremy Doku weighed in with two targets, while Jack Grealish put an end to his long drought and the young Divino Mubama and Nico O’Reilly also hit a one-sided assembly at the Etihad stadium.
It is a brutal exhibition of a very replaced city, whose enthusiasts were extremely cheerful with the blows included in their elegance of visitors belonging to 92 years.
Gary Neville, one of this organization of former Manchester United players, mercilessly mocked as the goals progressed.
England’s backing has become a skilful and no businessman was provided to witness the defeat, however, colleagues Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes were on hand to watch it spread out at the agonizing main points of the stands.
Ryan Giggs, the sporting director who also has a backroom role, was also at close hand in the technical area as the biggest game in Salford’s history quickly turned sour.
City made nine adjustments to the side that invaded West Ham last weekend and took the opportunity to debut in Mubama, 20, and a new delight in O’Reilly of 19 and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey.
Simpson-Pusey One of only two defenders specialising in the look with the experienced Nathan Ake, but, with a quality stacked bench, Pep Guardiola was very confident if things had gone wrong.
Still, Erling Haaland, Kevin de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden needed to keep an eye on how City’s control was temporarily established.
The hosts took the lead after only eight minutes as Matheus Nunes seized possession and fed Grealish, who played the ball wide for Doku to sweep past Matty Young from a tight angle.
The second came after 20 minutes as Savinho played in Nunes and he pulled back for Mubama to slide in for a simple finish.
Salford had chances to reply as City eased off the pressure, with Kylian Kouassi shooting at Ederson after a good run and later fluffing a shot from an excellent cross by Hakeeb Adelakun.
Kevin Berkoe also snatched at an effort but City simply moved up through the gears in response.
Doku weaved his way to the byline and O’Reilly firmly drove home his first senior goal before the break.
Grealish, aimed at club football since December 2023, returned to the adjustment sheet 4 minutes after the break.
England’s foreigner would have been scored from the open game after Mubama ran through a bad passage to prepare it, however, he did not get the position after being shot down through Ossama Ashley.
The fifth of the city arrived here from a fluid movement at a while later, when Nunes released Doku and his first cross skillfully guided through Mcatee.
Things temporarily started to go uncontrollable for Salford, who admitted to a penalty moment in which Doku’s shot hit Captain Curtis Tilt’s arm.
This time, Doku sent Young in the direction, and the goalkeeper was defeated when the ball of the replacement Foden was well controlled and hidden through Mcatee.
Mcatee finished his minimal triple when he became a cross of grunts.
Man City Hat Trick Hero James Mcatee told the BBC: “I was frustrated in the first half, I was not seeing much of the ball. When the first one arrived here, my confidence was in position and kept scoring.
“I’ve been here since I was 10 years old and it’s a special moment for me. Something that siempre. es a smart time for me. “
Man Ciy boss Pep Guardiola told the BBC: “Jack [Grealish] made a good assist as well, not just the goal. He scored a goal, made an assist. Jack’s a special player, not always one to score a lot of goals but it depends on him.
“If you can do well, you will take the opportunity to continue and go. All players have the output of the educational sessions and when they will have a few minutes to play. It is simple, only for Jack, for everyone.
“I have been director here for more than 500 games and we have made 487 or 488 games. Then we had 11, 12 or thirteen bad games.
“The problem that we’ve had is that we’ve had an incredible amount of injuries so we could not train and we could not compete. It’s so difficult but step by step, people are coming back.
“This season or maybe next season, the new players contribute and you have to fight your position. When it grows, you have a festival and give the most productive of your most productive. “
Salford boss Karl Robinson told the BBC: “You always know you’re at the mercy of the quality of the competition.
“Man City and Pep have never disrespected anybody and they showed us why they are what they are and why he is who he is. It’s about dusting ourselves off, we’ve come on so much in 12 months and to be where we are in the league.
“We have a purpose and it is to get out of this league. It is a ray of what we need to be and we know we have a lot and we know where we should be. “
