Manchester City have a whole host of players who can be considered among some of the best in their respective positions across world football.
Erling Haaland is a name who certainly stands out as he is arguably the best striker in the world alongside other incredible goalscorers such as Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski and Alexander Isak.
Rodri, who could extend his contract at Manchester City also has a case for being the standout midfielder in the world.
Luka Vuskovic named Josko Gvardiol as his idol and despite the Premier League champion just being 22, the fact that he is already inspiring other youngsters highlights the respect he commands within the game.
