Pep Guardiola’s side have yet to fully hit their stride but by comparison with their derby rivals the doubts are minor
On the face of it, Jérémy Doku has had an impressive start to life at Manchester City. He scored the equaliser early in the second half against West Ham, helped himself to another goal against RB Leipzig, and was brilliant in the first half against Brighton last Saturday, darting to the line to cut the ball back for Julian Álvarez’s opener and generally tormenting James Milner.
His check and acceleration to swoop past Igor Julio before his cross for Álvarez was simple but devastating. Already he looks the sort of winger no full-back can risk being exposed against. What more could be asked of a 21-year-old moving to a new country, making the huge step up from Rennes?
