The Barcelona forward is in Manchester with his international team-mates, with Jorge Sampaoli’s men taking on Italy and Spain ahead of the World Cup.
And Messi - who welcomed third son Ciro into the world this month - was in top form with a superb solo strike during Wednesday’s session.
Messi collected a pass on the halfway line and showed a trademark burst of acceleration to speed away from a pair of opponents before cutting inside two more defenders and slotting home a pinpoint finish from 20 yards.
Messi has been making a strong impression during his time in Manchester, with the 30-year-old visiting youth Academy training sessions at Premier League leaders City.
