Injury to Laporte is a matter of concern for Manchester City

Manchester United legend Gary Neville predicts that Manchester City's performances will decline with the injury suffered by Aymeric Laporte.

"In terms of a leader figure, I think Laporte is like Vincent Kompany, and what I will say is if Laporte goes away for a long time, I think it will make City lose points because he is the dominant center. I have seen him three times in Spain and he's a great player. "That's a real concern for City," Neville told Sky Sports.

Laporte injured his knee when residents beat Brighton and Hove Albion 4-0 last weekend. He was expelled in the 34th minute after colliding with Adam Webster.

After the match, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said Laporte could stay in the job for a long time. If so, City is in big trouble.

Because of this, the last stock of residents left only John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi. In addition, City failed to replace Kompany in the summer transfer market.

"I said a few weeks ago that I could not understand why City did not recruit Harry Maguire when Kompany left the club,"

"Manchester United did well to take Maguire, but I'm surprised City didn't really go after Maguire, maybe they did it and withdrew money or whatever," Neville said. .
