About this episode

The episode discusses Erling Haaland's growing influence and leadership at Manchester City amidst changes in the team's senior leadership.

Is this Erling Haaland’s Manchester City now? With Pep Guardiola gone and senior leaders such as Rodri, Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Nathan Ake moving on, Haaland appears to have embraced a new level of responsibility at the club. Adam Booker from  ⁨@TheCityRamble⁩  joins Steven McInerney for The City Social, a podcast brought to you by the Esteemed Kompany YouTube channel. Adam and Steven discuss Haaland’s growing influence on and off the pitch and his leadership of Manchester City’s new generation. They also discuss Ayyoub Bouaddi’s remarkable performance in the 2-0 Champions League win against Porto, City’s exciting new midfield, Phil Foden’s form, Marc Guéhi’s increasingly important role and Enzo Maresca’s perfect start to the season. www.esteemedkompany.com 🔔 Subscribe for Man City videos: bit.ly/EsteemedKompany ✍️ Become a channel member: youtube.com/esteemedkompany/join 🤝 Support on Patreon: patreon.com/esteemedkompany Esteemed Kompany.
