As the new season approaches, interest around young Uzbek footballer Abdukodir Khusanov has intensified. His future and prospects at "Manchester City" have become the focus of attention not only among fans in our country but also among the European football community, wrote esteemedkompany.com.
The upcoming season is of great importance for the 21-year-old central defender. One should not forget that the games ahead are being viewed as the first stage of a challenging journey leading to the World Cup, which will be hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
Many have wondered: "Will Khusanov get a real chance in a star-filled team like 'Manchester City'? Or would it be better for him to gain more playing experience on loan at another club?"
According to several sources, Sports.uz reports that the "Cityzens" management and coaching staff, especially head coach Josep Guardiola, have expressed strong confidence in Abdukodir Khusanov. Interestingly, there were loan offers made for him, but the club made a firm decision — the player stays in the team!
The famous coach, having fully assessed his potential, has decided to keep Khusanov in the squad for the new season. This is a sign of great trust and responsibility. For any young footballer, such an opportunity is not only a chance to prove themselves, but also to gain recognition at one of Europe’s top clubs.
Reportedly, in the new season, Abdukodir will be used as a rotation player. He will be given opportunities to play in the FA Cup, national cup tournaments, and some Premier League matches. This is seen as part of a strategy aimed at his development and gaining experience.
It is noteworthy that major changes are expected in Manchester City's defensive line. Vitor Reis may be loaned out. The future of Manuel Akanji and John Stones remains uncertain. In such circumstances, Khusanov has a chance to solidify his place in the team.
Manchester Evening News has also confirmed this information, stating that despite offers from other clubs, Manchester City plans to keep the Uzbek defender in the squad.
However, it’s important to emphasize: Khusanov’s future is in his own hands. Everything depends on how persistently and diligently he performs in training and how he uses the opportunities given to him in matches.
The coaching staff will monitor his progress and provide the necessary preparation to make him an integral part of the main squad in the future. This is not only a major test but also a great opportunity for both Abdukodir and Uzbek football.
There is no doubt that fans will now watch his every move and performance on the field with special attention. Because every step of our compatriot, who is finding his place in European football, can become a part of history.
