Interest cools down? Manchester City s little prince may miss the opportunity to enter the Bundesliga. Staying in the team in the new season is also a good choice

In the early morning of June 11, German media "Boyce" Leverkusen and team reporter Phillip Arens revealed that the pharmaceutical factory's interest in Manchester City's youth training prince James McCarthy had cooled down. The latter's desire to enter the Bundesliga in the new season may be difficult to realize. However, for Wheat, staying at Manchester City is also a good choice.

22-year-old James McCarty is from Manchester City youth training. He is known as the new three Manchester City youth training masters together with Palmer and Drapp, and echoes the three elders of Foden, Sancho and Brahim Dias. Last season, he played for Manchester City in 27 games and started only 9 times in various games, but scored 7 goals, including 3 starts and 3 goals in 15 Premier League games. Although he is not the absolute main force, the performance of the little prince of Manchester City is still remarkable. Guardiola has praised him many times in public, and even felt guilty for not being able to arrange for Wheat to play as the main force.

Manchester City will play in the Club World Cup held in the United States, and McCarthy is not selected for the roster. He will play in the European Cup with England U21, and there are also Premier League champions such as Elliott, Envaneri, Xinsheerwood, Job Bellingham, Quanza and Livramento. For Wheat, who has few opportunities in Manchester City, playing in the U21 European Cup is a good choice. But this also sent a signal on the side, that is, he seems to have no future at Manchester City.

Of course, there are still many teams interested in McCarthy. Even though Leverkusen has given up signing him, Nottingham Forest, Wolves, and Lyon, who just sold Serky to Manchester City, are eyeing him. Even Manchester City's city rival Manchester United intends to bring Wheat to Dream Theatre and thinks he is the most talented player among the younger generation in England. The joining of Reindez and Serky further weakened Wheat's appearance pick under Guardiola.

However, Manchester City coach Guardiola repeatedly stated that he did not want McCarty to leave the team. In Guardiola's eyes, this midfielder trained by Manchester City's youth training system is familiar with the team's tactical system, is humble and cute, has excellent training performance and can compete in multiple positions. "I can appreciate him, but the final lineup depends on the end of the season."

For Mai, it would be better if he could join a team that could play the main force. But even staying at Manchester City to meet the challenge is a good choice. After De Bruyne left the team, Manchester City signed two strong midfielders, Reindez and Sherky. But the former plays more the role of Gundogan's successor, and although the latter has a conflict with McCarthy, it is still unknown whether he can quickly integrate into Guardiola's tactical system and make a big splash in his debut season at Manchester City. Once Serky is not adapting to the local conditions, the opportunity for McCarthy will come.
