The performances from Manchester City's youngsters in their Community Shield win show they may be able to cover a potential exit of World Cup winner Julian Alvarez.
That might soon be the puzzle for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, with Argentina forward Julian Alvarez on the verge of making an £81.5m move to Atletico Madrid.
Twenty-year-old Brazilian winger Savinho, who only joined City last month, made an impressive cameo as a substitute for the last 30 minutes."They have the standards to be here," said the Spaniard. Norwegian midfielder Bobb, whose talent has been nurtured in City's academy, played 26 senior games in all competitions last season, including two starts in the Premier League.
Former England striker Ian Wright, speaking on ITV, called Bobb "one of the most exciting youngsters in the game" and added: "When he gets it under control, he goes from zero to very quick."When you get someone who wants to take players on, it gets people off their seat."Alvarez joined City in January 2022 in a £14m deal from River Plate, although he remained with the Argentine side for the rest of that season.
