Will Manchester City be able to do better than last season? Not sure. Worse, the Skyblues have to manage a mini-transition with many executives leaving or already gone. This is the case of Ilkay Gundogan, who joined FC Barcelona, and soon the case of Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez, leaving for Bayern Munich for the first and for Al-Ahli for the second. But if the latter were essential elements of the success of Pep Guardiola, the Spanish tactician still has a step ahead. Finally according to him.
In effect, Manchester Evening News reports that the 52-year-old coach already knows how to replace those starts. John Stones and Manuel Akanji will evolve more often than before on the right side, where Phil Foden and Cole Palmer will be able to perfectly fill the departure of Riyad Mahrez on the wing, always on the same flank. Also note that Julian Alvarez can help out in this position and that Rico Lewis is an interesting option in the future to make Kyle Walker forget. For the moment, Manchester City therefore seems to be drawing from its own pool, knowing that Joško Gvardiol is still the priority for Cityzens.
