KYLE WALKER captained Manchester City to victory – against the club that is trying to sign him this summer.

Bayern Munich are hopeful of luring the England ace to Germany in the coming days but the Treble winners want to keep him.

And as if to show he remains very much a City player, Pep Guardiola handed him the armband for this game in Japan.

The former Spurs man now add the Audi Football Summit trophy to his long list of honours thanks to a late winner from defender Aymeric Laporte.

Ironically the defender is another player whose Etihad future is in doubt with the new season just over two weeks away.

Walker began the game as the skipper, despite claims to the contrary in Germany.

But another player who has represented both teams came close to starting the scoring.

Leroy Sane, a former City wide receiver, slammed a free kick against the crossbar as Ederson struggled to get there.

However, before the midpoint of the first half, Julian Alvarez’s attempt was saved by Yann Sommer after Rico Lewis made a break for it down the right and cut back for him.

James McAtee, though, prodded the ball over the line from close range because the ball had dropped perfectly.

The England Under 21 ace impressed during a loan spell at promoted Sheffield United last season – but Guardiola wants to have a proper look at him in the Far East.

At halftime, both coaches made significant substitutions, with Thomas Tuchel switching all 11 of his Bayern players.

Erling Haaland, who scored twice in his first appearance of the season here on Sunday, was one of the eight players Guardiola started. Walker took a break.

The 65000 spectators at the Japan National Stadium were disappointed because the Norwegian hitman did not receive much attention.

The Germans then equalized in the final ten minutes thanks to a scrambling goal by French youngster Mathys Tel.

Joao Cancelo – who spent the second half of last season on loan at the Allianz Arena – saw a shot blocked as he looked for the winner.

But four minutes from time a shot from Phil Foden was only parried and Laporte was on hand to fire home.
