- Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola stated he will not expect new goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to replicate Ederson’s renowned footwork, instead adapting to the Italian’s strengths - ‘He’s huge.’
- Donnarumma, widely considered the world’s best keeper, joined City from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day, while Ederson departed for Fenerbahce.
- Guardiola also praised Erling Haaland, asserting he would not swap the prolific Norwegian striker for any other player, including Alexander Isak.
- City faces Manchester United in a derby match on Sunday, aiming to improve their form after two recent defeats.
- Forward Omar Marmoush is expected to be out for several weeks with a knee injury, and defender John Stones is a doubt for the derby due to a muscular problem.
