This seems to justify assumptions about the weakness of Manchester City's defense this season. They need strong defenders so they can minimize losses and concede lots of goals. Manchester city have priority on defense now after their previous 4 matches saw them conceding 5 goals. But if actually Manchester City want to buy a defender, then I'm sure they will look for a better one instead of Manuel Akanji. Honestly I don't know the man, he doesn't seem like a strong defender to me.
I don't understand Manchester City management policy. on the one hand they want to strengthen the defense to prevent a lot of goals, while on the other hand they want to bring in players who have not been able to play regularly at their clubs. Manchester City must look for players who can provide competition to other players, with the presence of top players in certain positions, other players will be increasingly encouraged to improve their performance. Manuel Akanji will only add to the list of players on the Manchester City bench, because Akanji flying hours this season are still very minimal.
