Ideal suitable for the city of Man?
European football expert Kevin Hachard on Sky Sports News:
“It is an absolute occasion, it can do a really good job for them. Pep Guardiola has admired it for some time.
“He has been linked to the move to the city since he was a young player, so he is a truly interesting character that has ripened in Porto. He has taken some steps forward and could be a really good player.”
Statman Dave Talk to Sky Sports News:
“It fits perfectly. He came through the Barcelona and long -standing academy.
“Yes, there is a lot of work that is related to it but you are considering getting another body in the defensive midfield- the city needs that now. We have seen how bad they defense against Arsenal. How many times have they been arrested three times- two?
“He is a player who can come, and football is playing Guardiola and developing. You look at the city window – two of the center, one of the best strikers in Europe at the age of Marmush and a defensive midfielder.”
