Manchester City have thrown their full support behind Antoine Semenyo after the forward revealed he has once again been the target of "unacceptable" racist abuse online. The Ghana international took to social media to highlight the latest incident appearing to target him, prompting a swift response from footballing authorities.

Widespread praise following Liverpool's four-goal haul

Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo has been left in awe of Rayan Cherki's technical ability, and described the Frenchman as "one of the world's best" after the pair inspired Manchester City to a statement victory over Liverpool. The duo were in scintillating form at the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola’s side secured their place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 4-0 rout.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has never been one to shy away from tactical scrutiny, often acknowledging the noise surrounding his team selections. Following the stalemate at the London Stadium, the spotlight has fallen firmly on his handling of Rayan Cherki, whose impact as a substitute stood in stark contrast to the starters' output.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has officially ended a surprising four-year drought by being named the Premier League Manager of the Month for February. Despite City’s relentless dominance and trophy hauls in recent seasons, the Catalan tactician had famously not picked up the individual monthly accolade since December 2021, marking a significant gap for a coach of his undisputed standing in the English game.

Pep Guardiola has claimed that he is not a "big, big fan" of the January transfer window, but Manchester City's recent winter business suggests otherwise. City have signed six players in the last two January windows, spending a total of £264 million ($353m) in the process. But whereas last year's purchases smacked of desperation, the recent acquisitions of Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo are looking like masterstrokes.
