It is almost unquestionable that Manchester City have squad depth like no other club in Europe. The arrival of Guardiola resulted in an overhaul of the City squad as many quality players were signed while the older players were shown the door. This resulted in a squad which can cope without any player on the pitch in every position.

The attacking unit of the Cityzens boasts of Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez. The midfield consists of Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Oleksandr Zinchenko. The defence includes Vincent Kompany, Aymeric Laporte, John Stones, Nicolas Otamendi, Kyle Walker, Danilo, Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph. And finally, they have two quality goalkeepers in Ederson Moraes and Claudio Bravo.

Now, this frightening squad depth is unmatched in all of Europe. It is proof of how wisely this City side has spent.

We Red Devils fans can't do anything but watch this incredible City squad in awe while United keep searching to 'finally find their man', as they have been ever since a certain Portugese left us.
