Struggling for Game Time

Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is reportedly set to leave the club in January. The 28-year-old has failed to start a single Premier League game this season, only playing 89 minutes across their 16 matches. After scoring a penalty in City's recent Champions League match, Phillips' future remains uncertain.

Desperate to Showcase Skills for Euro 2024

With the Euro 2024 approaching, Phillips is eager to showcase his skills before Gareth Southgate selects his squad. Despite his lack of action for City, the England international has remained a regular in the national team. However, the reduction of squad size from 26 to 23 could put his place in jeopardy.

Loan Move and Possible Summer Swoop

In January, Phillips could potentially leave City on loan, with Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Newcastle showing interest. In a surprising turn of events, Manchester United may make a shock swoop for the midfielder in the summer. Sources claim that Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag is a big fan of Phillips, and the impending partial takeover of Sir Jim Ratcliffe could also play a role in the move.

Guardiola Remains Cautious

When asked about Phillips' future, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola remained cautious. He stated that the situation depends on whether the player leaves or stays. Guardiola emphasized that the January transfer market is challenging and that the team still has important competitions to play in.

It remains to be seen where Phillips will end up, but his departure from Manchester City seems imminent. Will he make the switch to Manchester United and impress in the coming months? Stay tuned for updates.
