Manchester City’s Pre-Season Tour Surprises Fans with Unexpected Member

Manchester City has kicked off their pre-season tour in the United States, and fans have noticed a surprising addition to their squad list.

The team, led by Pep Guardiola, has brought along a player who is registered to another team, sparking curiosity among fans.

The 27-member squad includes star players like Kalvin Phillips, Erling Haaland, and Jack Grealish, but one player stands out – Amar Fatah, a 20-year-old Swedish player registered to French team Troyes, which is also owned by Manchester City.

Fatah spent last season on loan at Lommel SK, another team within the City Group. His inclusion in the squad has raised questions about whether he will feature in Manchester City’s games during the US tour.

Fans took to social media to speculate about Fatah’s role in the team, with many wondering if he will play for Pep Guardiola’s side on Sunday.

Manchester City arrived in North Carolina on Friday evening, ahead of their first pre-season clash with Celtic on Tuesday, July 23.

The majority of Manchester City’s first-team squad is missing due to being given time off after participating in the Euro 2024 and Copa America tournaments.

Fans will be keeping a close eye on Fatah’s performance during the tour, wondering if he will become a permanent member of the Manchester City team.
