Manchester City has recorded five consecutive victories across the Premier League and Champions League since Enzo Maresca took charge of the club in the summer of 2026. This winning streak includes a 1-0 result against Manchester United at Old Trafford on September 13, 2026, a match in which Phil Foden was issued a red card.
Club captain Ruben Dias noted that while the team maintains continuity from the previous era under Pep Guardiola, Maresca has implemented specific changes to defensive structures and pressing patterns.
To influence the training environment, Maresca has introduced loud house music during sessions. According to the manager, this addition is intended to help players feel happier and improve their work output.
Manchester City continues its schedule with a Carabao Cup fixture against Norwich on September 17, 2026. This will be followed by a Premier League match against Sunderland on September 20, 2026.
