Two Man City summer signings are setting standards for Enzo Maresca

Simon Bajkowski of the Manchester Evening News writes that Manchester City summer signings Elliot Anderson and Iliman Ndiaye are setting standards under manager Enzo Maresca. Following City's Champions League win over RB Leipzig, Erling Haaland praised £116 million midfielder Anderson for his decisive assist, marking an impressive start to his City career after joining from Nottingham Forest.

While Jeremy Doku has struggled for consistent end product, Bajkowski notes that former Everton forward Ndiaye has stepped up with four assists in five games. The writer argues that while Maresca's squad requires time to adapt to his tactical ideas, other players must match the contributions of these new signings to elevate team performances.
