It was a busy end to the summer transfer window for Man City as they completed the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain.
City added seven players to their first-team squad over the two summer transfer windows, while 31 players departed the club across the various age groups. Ilkay Gundogan moved to Galatasaray on Tuesday, a day after Ederson joined fellow Turkish side Fenerbahce, while Manuel Akanji joined Inter on a season-long loan.
The Blues started the season well with a thumping win over Wolves but lost their subsequent matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton as Pep Guardiola learned a lot about his new-look side.
City will have to be much better when they host Manchester United after the international break and here is a look at what their new strongest line up is after the summer window.
Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and an upgrade on James Trafford.
