‘Einstein’ can keep United in check
Teenage wonder boy Ayyoub Bouaddi can be the brains of City’s new midfield.
Ayyoub Bouaddi, a 18-year-old Moroccan player, is being dubbed "Einstein" due to his constant studying and quick mind. Known as Ayyoub Bouaddi, the young footballer is set to make his Manchester derby debut for City in the 199th Manchester derby. Priced at £86 million, he is one of City's "century-plus" signings, but his youth and talent make him a valuable asset.
Bouaddi has already captained older kids at school, made his European debut at 16, and helped Lille beat Real Madrid at 17. Now studying mathematics, he believes it keeps his mind sharp and helps him understand the game better. After his impressive debut against Porto, City fans are hopeful he can help the team perform in the high-pressure atmosphere of the Manc derby.
Despite United's mixed start to the season, City's success and experienced players have given them an edge in the derby.
