Some Manchester City fans have taken to Twitter to react after hearing that Pep Guardiola wants Jamal Musiala to replace Kevin De Bruyne in future.
It was The Secret Scout who made the claim.
So, what are Manchester City fans saying about the rumour involving Jamal Musiala and Kevin De Bruyne? Let’s take a look…
Manchester City fans react as Pep Guardiola eyes Jamal Musiala as Kevin De Bruyne replacement
Well – despite the fact that Bayern Munich’s No.42 is one of the best young talents on the planet – a handful of Manchester City fans do not seem too excited by this rumour.
One expressed shock at the story, asking “what’s even going on” at the Etihad Stadium.
Another simply wrote “wow” in response to The Secret Scout’s claim.
A couple of other Manchester City fans shared their thoughts.
One supporter even went as far as saying that they would rather have a 46-year-old De Bruyne instead of Musiala, which is very harsh on the Germany international.
Another fan wrote that the 20-year-old dribbles too much with the ball, but then strangely went on to demand that Crystal Palace No.10 replaces the Belgium international, a player who ranks second behind Leroy Sane for successful dribbles so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Last but not least, two more Manchester City fans commented on the rumour, and they were certainly on the same page.
Both supporters admitted that they think Bayer Leverkusen No.10 Florian Wirtz is more similar to De Bruyne than Musiala, and would prefer that Guardiola signs the 20-year-old instead of his fellow countryman.
Despite Musiala’s reputation as one of the brightest footballers on the planet, these Manchester City fans do not believe he can replace De Bruyne.
In fairness to the Stuttgart-born wonderkid, there aren’t many capable of replacing the phenomenal Belgian, and it will be a seriously tough task for Guardiola to find someone good enough to take the torch from the 32-year-old.
