Manchester City
Manchester City
Manchester City are the reigning Premier League Champions. City finished 5 points clear of second-placed Arsenal in 2022/23 and with players such as Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish the Manchester team are among the favourites to win the title again.
- Stadium: The City of Manchester Stadium
- Stadium Capacity: 55,097
- Location: Manchester
- Founded: 1880
- Nickname: City
- Manager: Pep Guardiola
- Kit: Sky blue shirts and shorts with white socks
Manchester City was formed in 1880 but had different names until they became Manchester City in 1894. City have played in the top division for most of their history but they did fall down to the third level as recently as 1999. City’s most successful periods have been in the late 1960s and the last ten years when they have won both League and Cup titles. Here are the highlights:
- League Champions: 9 times
- FA Cup Winners: 7 times
- League Cup Winners: 8 times
- European Cup Winners’ Cup: Winners 1969/70
The Manager
Josep 'Pep' Guardiola, had lots of success managing Bayern Munich in Germany and Barcelona in Spain before he moved to Manchester City in 2016. Since his arrival, he has taken City to the Premier League trophy and transformed the club into one of the best in Europe. Guardiola is regarded as one of the best managers in the game.
Three to Watch
Here are three Manchester City players to keep an eye on in the Premier League this season:
Erling Haaland
Haaland holds the record for the most goals scored by a player in a single Premier League season, with 36
Jack Grealish
City’s biggest summer transfer has been Jack Grealish’s £100 million move from Aston Villa. The English winger will add skill and pace to either side of the pitch. If Grealish can perform in the same way as he did for Villa in recent seasons, City will be very difficult to stop.
Kevin De Bruyne
De Bruyne was many people’s Player of the Season as he helped City cruise to the title. The midfielder’s ability to unlock a defence is second to none and he also can hit a wonderful free--kick. De Bruyne set up plenty of Premier League goals last season and will no doubt be amongst the goals again this season.
The era of Manchester CIty
Manchester City won the Premier League last season for the fifth time and have broken many Premier League records along the way. Some of the records they have broken include: most points, most goals, most wins, most consecutive wins, most points ahead of second place and best goal difference. Manchester City’s top scorer was Ilkay Gundogan.

I don't like very much Man. City because they have too much money and for my opinion they are artificial club. While they have a rich boss ,they will have a results. I really can't understand why they don't have a results in Champions league...when they can't 2 times pass the group round and a think twice time they lost against Barcelona in last 16, but I think that have 2 reasons. First is that they can't have a best team in europe over the night,and second reason is that I think that almost all english premier clubs are more important to win Premier league than Champions league

Does it sound a little bit strange to me only? Man City have to fight for the trophies with the manager who made it clear that he would leave the club at the end of the season, and they have already signed a new manager.

I'm far away from being their fan but I'll always remember what Ian Curtis's said about his favourite colour. He said: 'Blue. Man.City blue.' That was original..

Citizens are back in the game once again. But this year they have more than one rival for the trophy.

The way Man.City won their 1st title after a long time is smth that happens once in a lifetime. But, sincerelly I don't like how they spend their money and buy new players every year. They should make new players and not only buy the best players from all around the world. Financial fair play will fix that in the future. I'm pretty sure in that.

I have one suggestion for you. I think that you could create one new tab as part of the My profile, next to View and Edit cards.
That card should contain all comments that we leave about some topics and I think that could be
simpler way to discuss with other learners and teachers (we do not need to go on some subject to see are you answer to as).
I think that is easier way to build better communications between participants.

Hi Rema
It's part of the development plan for this year. Last month, we were working on making the website work on phones and tablets, but we are very excited about improving profile pages and want to do what you suggested. Bear with us and we hope you'll see the changes you suggested in the next couple of months.
Thanks
