Maresca’s First Test at City | MLS News

Manchester City’s new era kicks off under pressure after a Community Shield loss, with Enzo Maresca inheriting the daunting task of rebuilding from Pep Guardiola’s shadow. Facing Bournemouth — fresh off a sixth-place finish and set to play European football — City must rally quickly, especially with key players still finding their rhythm. Donnarumma needs to deliver in goal, Nunes returns from injury, and Dias anchors defense alongside Guéhi and Gvardiol. Midfield sees high hopes on Anderson, compared to De Bruyne, while Kovačić steps up despite shaky form. Up front, Foden seeks redemption under Maresca, Semenyo faces his former club, and Haaland aims to extend his August dominance — all before his first Premier League start since a major tournament.
