Manchester City Set to Showcase New Signings Against Wydad AC in Club World Cup
After investing heavily during the recent transfer window, Manchester City begins their Club World Cup journey against Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia on June 16. Notably absent are Jack Grealish and the departed Kevin De Bruyne, marking a potential shift in the team’s dynamics under Pep Guardiola. The squad’s latest acquisitions include Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Rayan Cherki.
City, having qualified as UEFA Champions League winners, are among the favorites to clinch the Club World Cup title despite a subpar 2024-25 season. Expect the new players to feature prominently against Wydad AC, who secured their spot by winning the 2022 African Champions League.
