Left Midfielder – Leroy Sane

The German midfielder has definitely been putting in some brilliant performances for Manchester City over the past few weeks. His pace has caused problems for multiple teams while he has played some superb distribution down the left-wing. Sane has been able to put in a nice run of form which has helped his play but also helped Manchester City find other ways to net goals. Despite only one assist in league play, Sane’s hard work has helped Manchester City earn a good string of league results over the past two months. I expect his role to increase while Manchester City try to defeat Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea in their next three league fixtures.
