Manchester City’s poor start to the new Premier League season is still widely discussed. Dissatisfied fans and football experts are criticizing Pep Guardiola’s player selection policy. It is especially emphasized that the major mistakes of some players became the decisive factor in losing points.
At the same time, many loyal supporters openly express their views. Among them, a large number demand more chances for Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov, who impressed with his brave performance against Brighton.
Fans and international football lovers’ comments further highlighted their trust and respect for Husonov:
Jack Makau: “In the center of defense, Khusanov must play alongside Ruben Dias.”
Hamisi Gari: “Stones and Gvardiol in the center, Khusanov on the right, Ryan Ait-Nouri on the left — that’s the ideal lineup.”
Othniel Welldone Chadiwa: “Khusanov played brilliantly against Brighton; he can become a key figure in the future.”
Mnganga Shzz: “Khusanov must play regularly, this guy will solve the team’s big problems.”
Angel Jerome Kwame: “Khusanov and Trafford have won my heart, this boy will be a big star.”
Uzu Ibeabuchi: “Right now the only player giving us hope is Khusanov.”
Wíññíé Khayleb: “He gave everything on the pitch, plays with his heart.”
Gordon Nixon: “Khusanov must start every week; his tempo is high, and he is the only one ready for real competition.”
Robert Smith: “Khusanov is the future of the team.”
Anning Paul: “He is a fantastic defender, fully capable of replacing Walker.”
Ahouo Armel Kevin: “Keeping City’s defense reliable depends only on Khusanov and Gvardiol.”
Pancho Morris: “We wish Khusanov good health. In the team, apart from him, Haaland, Rodri, and Marmoush, almost no one played strongly.”
Quoyum Olalekan: “Khusanov is very talented. Why doesn’t Pep still fully trust him?”
Pundit Jay: “City lacks pace, strength, and intensity. The only player with these qualities is Abdukodir Khusanov!”
Abdukodir Khusanov joined Manchester City on January 20, 2025. The club paid €40 million to French side Lens for the Uzbek defender.
The 21-year-old became the most expensive transfer in Lens history. Moreover, the reputable portal transfermarkt.world values his market price at €35 million. Khusanov is currently the most expensive footballer in Central Asia.
