The Manchester City academy has produced a number of future first-team players. But who are the Citizens’ current U21 and U18 talents striving to make it to the senior side at Etihad Stadium?
Pep Guardiola is not shy of using the club’s academy products in his first team, with Phil Foden, Oscar Bobb, James McAtee, Nico O’Reilly and Rico Lewis all in his squad for the 2024/25 season.
City’s Elite Development Squad play in the Premier League 2 under head coach Ben Wilkinson, who was promoted from his role as U18 boss in 2024. Oliver Reiss has taken his place in charge of the U18s.
The City junior teams play their matches at the Academy Stadium on their Etihad Campus.
