Kevin De Bruyne is one of the most valuable players for Manchester City without doubt. His absence due to injury is really unlucky for them as well. However I don't think this would affect them deeply anyway. Because they are still one of the strongest teams in Europe now. They are full of world stars playing in coherence together.
There has been some drop in their form recently but it is no problem at all. I remember Manchester City having way worse times in one season and they were way behind the leader. But they still made an unforgettable comeback and won the title by a serious point gap.
Manchester City's performances haven't been good enough for the team lately since De Bruyne's absence. His contributions helped the team win a lot of games and he provided a lot of assists for Haaland to score, but now that he is out, the team is losing. When Rodri have not received red card, he helped the team win in addition to Kelvin De Bruyne. They continued to succeed even without Kelvin De Bruyne. Strong players like Rodri are what Pep Guardiola needs to buy to replace in for them while they are out, in my opinion, if the team is to keep winning.
Furthermore Manchester United board have launched an inquiry as to why so many player’s are getting injured and the most obvious answer is Ten Hag failure to rotate his squad and inability to provide rest to his player’s.
Ten Hag's needs to stop everything he's doing because it will result in poor performance for the team. He also needs to believe in his players' abilities because otherwise, I believe Manchester united will keep on losing their matches. Ten Hag's should also know exactly which players will start in the first eleven because he cannot use anyone like that because he consistently has problems with his players at every club he coaches. I think the club will fire him if he doesn't stop doing it so the team can keep winning games. The best possible outcome for him is that. Simply put, I'm wondering to see how they perform against Sheffield United and whether they can win or lose.
