Man City fans thinks youngstar should replace senior figure at the Etihad stadium
Manchester City fans are increasingly convinced that Yan Couto could be the long-term replacement for Kyle Walker at the Etihad Stadium.
The 21-year-old has been attracting significant attention from supporters on social media due to his impressive performances while on loan at Girona.
Couto, who signed for Manchester City in 2020 for £5.5m, has been excelling at Girona, scoring one goal and providing seven assists as the Spanish side sits at the top of La Liga.
His standout performances have even caught the interest of Real Madrid, with reports suggesting that the Spanish giants are monitoring him as a potential replacement for Dani Carvajal.
Furthermore, Couto’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in 18 months, adding to the speculation surrounding his future at the club.
The Brazilian himself fueled the fire by admitting that Real Madrid is his dream club during a social media Q&A session with Girona.
This has led Manchester City fans to express their belief that Couto could indeed be the ideal replacement for Walker at the Etihad Stadium.
Some supporters have emphasized Couto’s capabilities and the need for him to be given a chance by manager Pep Guardiola, while others have warned that Real Madrid could swoop in if Manchester City does not act quickly.
The sentiment among fans is clearly in favor of Couto taking over from Walker, with many expressing their enthusiasm for the young Brazilian’s prospects.
The growing belief among supporters is that Couto has the potential to fill the shoes of the experienced right-back and make a significant impact at Manchester City in the near future.

@Santos254nito: “Yeah otherwise real madrid will take him”
@FMikusiak: “We will see, let’s give him chance”
@BFC_davie: “Yes he’s that guy”
Meanwhile former Manchester City player Nedum Onuoha believes that the club could be seeing the “hungriest version” of Kevin De Bruyne following his return from a long-term hamstring injury.
Onuoha’s comments come after De Bruyne’s impressive performance against Newcastle United, which was his first game back during the three appearances. According to Onuoha, De Bruyne’s eagerness to return to play after such a long injury could mean that he is more motivated than ever, which is great news for Manchester City.
Not only has De Bruyne managed to score a goal and provide two assists in his three appearances off the bench, but he is also showing his hunger and determination to get back on the field. Onuoha spoke with Sports Mole about De Bruyne’s comeback, expressing his belief that the Belgian skipper could be displaying a newfound passion for the game. Onuoha also stated that De Bruyne is one of the best players in the Premier League, and his return could significantly impact Manchester City’s performance in the title race this season.
The return of De Bruyne from injury could not only benefit Manchester City on the field but also provide a significant morale boost to his teammates. With a player of De Bruyne’s caliber back in the mix, Manchester City now has a legitimate game-changer who can make a difference in the title race. His return also signifies that the team has an experienced and talented player at their disposal, which could motivate them to maintain their high standards. As the season progresses, only time will tell if De Bruyne’s return will have the desired impact, but it is clear that his presence could be a game-changer for Manchester City.
