Manchester City is ready to face Arsenal in the Community Shield final, an important game for coach Pep Guardiola because he wants to win his first tournament this new season. The Citizens have become the most powerful club in the world.
In this preseason Manchester City played three friendly matches in Asia, the club defeated Yokohama Mariners and Bayern Munich but lost against Atlético Madrid. Guardiola has been impressed with the performance of a footballer who returned to the team this summer. This is James McAtte.
At Sheffield United McAtte had a great performance, in this team he played 37 games, scored nine goals, and gave three assists. He also helped this club get promoted to the Premier League. James is a fast footballer with a lot of skill.
In the pre-season with Manchester City, James McAtee has already scored a goal in the match against Bayern Munich. The 21-year-old footballer wants to stay in the team and have a lot of activity in the following season.
James McAtee has talent
“It’s good to get my first goal but I didn’t have too much impact in the game,” McAtee said at the end of the game against Bayern Munich. Experts see this footballer as the replacement for Ilkay Gundogan, a player who decided to leave to sign with FC Barcelona.
