Manchester Evening News writer Simon Bajkowski argues that Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca should deploy Abdukodir Khusanov primarily at center-back. Despite being used frequently across the backline and as cover at right-back, the 22-year-old Uzbek defender has delivered his most convincing performances when playing centrally.
While Ruben Dias and Marc Guehi have been the preferred central pairing, regular halftime substitutions have disrupted defensive stability. Bajkowski suggests Khusanov offers a more reliable central option than continuing to play him out of position, provided he recovers from a knock suffered against Nottingham Forest.
