Pre-Season Friendlies

Wolfsburg 0-2 Manchester City

Limerick 0-4 Manchester City

The Barclays Premier League champions finished their pre-season programme with victories in their final two friendly matches.
On Saturday, Sergio Aguero's toe-poked finish and Yaya Toure's shot secured a win over Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg.
On Sunday City were in Ireland, with Edin Dzeko scoring twice in a comfortable win over Limerick.
Dzeko, the only player to start both matches, bundled the ball in from close range and finished from a breakaway either side of Dedryck Boyata's strike.
That left City 3-0 up at the break and then Luca Scapuzzi completed a comfortable win ahead of Sunday's Community Shield match against Chelsea.
