Pep Guardiola is enjoying playing with his shiny new toy.
Antonie Semenyo has hit the ground running at Manchester City and his anytime goalscorer angle for this Manchester derby at 15/8 with Sky Bet really appeals.
What really stood out in the win at Newcastle was how different Semenyo makes this Manchester City attack look. City have brilliance, control and structure coming out of their ears but what they don’t always have is raw, aggressive directness. Semenyo brings that in bucketloads.Defenders are obsessed with Erling Haaland – that is only going to help Semenyo. It creates pockets of space and Semenyo is clever enough and aggressive enough to exploit them. Whether he’s starting wide left, drifting inside from the right or ghosting in around Haaland, he’s constantly sniffing danger rather than waiting for it.
And, for whatever reason, space seems to open up for him against Manchester United and he revels in it. Semenyo has scored in his last three appearances against United, including that bonkers 4-4 draw at Old Trafford earlier this season.
