City will kick off their stateside tour against Manchester United

Walker
will take part in his first Manchester derby in Texas on Friday
Manchester City new-boy Kyle Walker has linked up with his team-mates for the first time as they gear up for the International Champions Cup clash against Manchester United.
The right back was put through his
paces by new boss Pep Guardiola after completing his £54million switch from
Tottenham last week.
And it will be no easy baptism for
City's new recruit, with a Manchester derby looming just around the
corner.
Although it will not take place at
the Etihad Stadium or even Old Trafford, City and United will face off in a
stateside derby in Texas on Friday.
Also present at training was hitman
Sergio Aguero, who appeared fully focused on preparing for another Premier
League season with City.
Walker's fellow England
internationals Raheem Sterling and John Stones, who both also joined City for
huge transfer fees, also put in the hard yards and are set to line up alongside
their compatriot on the tour.
And Guardiola's men oozed calm and
focus as they look to fully kick-off their pre-season tour with their first
game against the old foe.
United are coming off two wins on
their stateside tour and City will be hoping to stop them in their tracks in
Texas.
The games will not get easier as
their tour continues, however. City will face Real Madrid next Thursday before
taking on Walker's former club Tottenham on Saturday.
