Two Premier League Defeats Force Enzo Maresca To Issue Haaland Warning
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has instructed his squad to distribute goalscoring duties beyond striker Erling Haaland following consecutive Premier League defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton. The demand comes as an injury to forward Antoine Semenyo leaves Haaland as the club’s primary reliable finisher ahead of their Champions League fixture against RB Leipzig.

Maresca identified attacking midfielders Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki alongside wingers Jeremy Doku and Iliman Ndiaye as the primary options required to elevate their final-third output. Central midfielders Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez have also been tasked with increasing their box arrivals to mitigate the reliance on Haaland during Semenyo’s absence.
