I’d imagine that incoming Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be very interested in Belgium’s European Championships campaign this summer. Obviously he’ll be looking out for City maestro Kevin De Bruyne but Pep will also have an eye on young defender Jason Denayer. City own the twenty year old Belgian, although he has yet to […]

When Manchester City signed Raheem Sterling for £49m this summer, I was’t unsure that it would be a great piece of business.

What a difference a couple of weeks can make at a football club. Just over a fortnight ago Manchester City lost quite miserably to German cracks VfB Stuttgart in their last friendly of preseason. It looked then that City were well short and could struggle to challenge for the English Premier League title. But then […]

Manchester City top the English Premier League table after the first round of fixtures with a very convincing performance against West Bromwich Albion. After Chelsea drew against Swansea and Arsenal lost at home to West Ham, City were afforded the freedom to play their opening fixture without any pressure. This is when the sky blues are […]
