Rayan Ait-Nouri sees limited action for Manchester City in Champions League

Summary

Rayan Ait-Nouri made only one appearance for Manchester City this season, coming off the bench against FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League. Although he provided an assist for Erling Haaland in a 2-0 victory, Ait-Nouri did not feature in the recent Manchester derby. Manager Enzo Maresca envisions Ait-Nouri as a winger rather than a full-back, a position that will be competitive with established players like Jeremy Doku and Antoine Semenyo. His next opportunity to gain more minutes could come in the Carabao Cup match against Norwich City.
