Former Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand, believes that Manchester City is the team to watch out for in the Premier League title race. After their impressive comeback against Newcastle United, he says that teams like Arsenal and Liverpool will be feeling the pressure and looking over their shoulders at City.
Ferdinand specifically points out the return of Kevin De Bruyne from injury as a major boost for City's chances at the title. In their match against Newcastle, City initially took the lead but then fell behind after goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. However, with 20 minutes left in the game, De Bruyne was brought on as a substitute and completely changed the game.
The Belgian scored a stunning goal with a perfectly placed finish and then provided a phenomenal pass for Oscar Bobb to score the winning goal in injury time. This victory was a crushing blow for teams like Arsenal and Liverpool, who have already seen City win five out of their last six matches without their star player, Erling Haaland. Ferdinand believes that the other title contenders will now be fearful of City, as they have hit their stride and are in top form.
Ferdinand also praises the impact of De Bruyne's return, saying that his performance was sensational. He adds that even City's manager, Pep Guardiola, who is usually composed and calm, was animated and passionate during the match. Ferdinand then directs his words to De Bruyne, saying that he is back and is the key player for City. He predicts that with their momentum and experience, City will continue to put pressure on their opponents and make a strong push for the title.
In light of City's impressive form and depth in their squad, Ferdinand describes them as formidable. He believes that they have all the qualities and firepower to get the job done and emerge as champions. In conclusion, he emphasizes that teams like Arsenal, who have been linked with a potential transfer for Borja Mayoral, will have to be on high alert as City is a force to be reckoned with in the title race.
