Sane has revelled in his role as a left winger for Man City
The sensational German Winger failed to make it to the World Cup 2018 squad, and Germany were poor in his absence. Sane on the other hand, took the rejection in his stride and has since shown his nation what a big mistake they had committed in the summer. The 23-year-old has been stellar for City so far, even though the chances have been hard for him to come by.

Sane has scored 16 goals and registered 14 assists from 43 games in all competitions this season. He has mostly operated from the left attacking position, from where he has cut inside with speed and tormented the opposition defense.
Sane has also been used quite often as a substitute, a situation where his speed and trickery has been a menace for the tiring opposition defense.
The German winger likes to use short passes to get into good positions and is lethal during counter attacks. He is technically gifted and has averaged 1.8 dribbles per game this season.
Because he is a part of a City side that is blessed with attacking talents, Sane has been used carefully by Pep this season. But there's no doubt that the German has been one of the best wingers in the Premier League this year

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
