Man City fans believe Omar Marmoush deserves a greater opportunity in the starting XI after what he did for Egypt in a friendly against Cape Verde.

Marmoush has struggled with injuries for Man City this season, making just two Premier League starts so far this campaign.

Man City could lose Marmoush to the African Cup of Nations from December, with Egypt having qualified for the tournament.

The 26-year-old, signed from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2024, could still play a pivotal role in Man City's title charge against rivals Arsenal.

Omar Marmoush goal wows Man City support

With Erling Haaland in phenomenal goal scoring form, Marmoush needs to find another position on the pitch to force his way into Guardiola's plans.

For Egypt against Cape Verde, Marmoush started on the right flank, and Man City fans instantly took to social media when the forward scored an equaliser in the second half.

Marmoush burst in-behind the Cape Verde defence, held off a covering defender before slotting the ball underneath the goalkeeper with his left foot.

Supporters believe that Marmoush should now get a run in the team on the wing, with Guardiola needing extra sources of goals upon a heavy reliance on Haaland.
