Manning’s Carrow Road league bow ended in disappointment against Alex Neil’s Lions. Josh Sargent cancelled out Camiel Neghli’s opener but Macaulay Langstaff raced away from Jakov Medic to slot past Vladan Kovacevic.

The City head coach revealed his frustration at the manner of the loss, and why the likes of Matej Jurasek, Shane Duffy and Anis Ben Slimane were not part of his matchday plans. 

Manning spoke to the media on Saturday afternoon at Carrow Road.
