Omar Marmoush

Marmoush is built for the ball played over the top rather than into feet, using a quick first step to get half a yard on a centre back and simply outrunning the recovery. He can play through the middle or drift left, cutting inside onto his stronger foot to shoot early rather than taking the extra touch that lets a goalkeeper set. His movement in behind is decisive, timed to beat the offside trap instead of gambling against it.

What is less settled is how he fits alongside Haaland, since both forwards want the same run into the same channel at once. City's front line works best when its runners stagger their movement rather than duplicate it. Watch whether he starts dropping deeper to link play instead of always sprinting in behind, since that would suggest the team wants him sharing space rather than racing for it.
