One of the most prestigious and powerful clubs in the English Premier League, Manchester City, is facing big challenges and serious tests in the new season.
Due to a sharp crisis and a decline in results last season, the team under Josep Guardiola was forced to hand over the championship title, which it had held for four consecutive years, to Liverpool. Moreover, in both domestic competitions and international tournaments, the team failed to win any trophies.
Following this situation, Josep Guardiola decided to rebuild the squad, rejuvenate the team, and bring in new blood. The renewal policy, which began with the arrival of young Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov in the winter transfer window of 2025, continues to this day.
Although there is a generational change taking place in the team, the strict and demanding fans of the “Citizens” continue to expect high-level results from the players, as always. In particular, the club’s fans from all over the world express their opinions on every decision, every action, and every game on social media.
The Sports.uz portal collected the most interesting thoughts and comments about Abdukodir Khusanov written on Manchester City’s official social media pages and presented them to Uzbek football fans:
