Fans praised the performance of Manchester City attacker Omar Marmoush in the goalless Premier League draw at Manchester United on Sunday (April 6). City dominated possesson at Old Trafford but failed to conjure a breakthrough as a share of the spoils ensued.
In a game bereft of much goalmouth action at either end, January arrival Marmoush was a rare bright spark up front. The Egyptian striker had two chances to open the scoring but failed to beat United custodian Andre Onana on each occasion.
Nevertheless, fans were impressed with the sense of urgency displayed by Marmoush, with one tweeting:
"City have definitely found another star in Marmoush. That boy can strike a ball. Might not score every game but will always get chances. The definition of lively. With Haaland out, he is simply perfect for FPL. should be a lock until the end of the season really!."

"I think we did well" - Manchester United boss after drawing with Manchester City
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim offered his thoughts on his side's goalless Premier League draw with arch-rivals Manchester City this weekend at Old Trafford.
Admitting that his side need to improve up front, the former Sporting CP tactician seemed pleased with the share of the spoils against Pep Guardiola's visitors, telling Sky Sports (via the BBC):
"I think we did well. We played a different game compared to Nottingham Forest last week. I know the excitement is not the same when you are not fighting for big things, changes the excitement of the derby.
"We look at the positive things. Now in the last games we have the opportunities so we have to improve the last pass and the last shot."
Manchester City next turn their attention to a Premier League home game with Crystal Palace on Saturday (April 12). Manchester United, meanwhile, take on Lyon away in the UEFA Europa League quarter-final first leg two days earlier.
