In January 2025, Uzbek defender Abduqodir Husanov joined Manchester City. A month later, he was named the "Player of the Month" by the team's fans. Husanov earned this award, surpassing stars like Erling Haaland and Josko Gvardiol.
However, things are not going smoothly for the young player at the moment. He has not been included in the starting lineup in recent matches. Abduqodir was not listed for the game against Leicester, and he remained on the bench in matches against Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
Despite this, many fans have not lost faith in Husanov. They believe that the defender has not yet shown his best performances. Setanta Sport asked fans about their thoughts on Husanov ahead of the "Citizens'" last game. Below, we present their opinions.
"Abduqodir Husanov is very young, agile, and anticipates the opponent's movements. I think he will become a very valuable player for Manchester City in the future," says one club supporter.
Another fan states: "Husanov has strong self-confidence. His movements on the field align with Guardiola's philosophy. He will be given many opportunities — there is no doubt about that."
Additionally, there are various opinions among fans regarding Husanov's game:
"As my friend Pavel said, he has amazing speed. Abduqodir could become a very valuable player for Manchester City in the future. His youth and agility are commendable," says another fan.
"He has not yet shown his best game, but he will become a top-level player in the future, there is no doubt about that," says another supporter.
It is worth noting that fans have already started to appear in the stadium wearing jerseys with Husanov's name. Currently, the best-selling jersey at the Etihad still belongs to Kevin De Bruyne. However, a Japanese fan of City believes that Abduqodir's jerseys will soon take their place among the top sellers.
For your information, Manchester City is currently in 5th place in the English Premier League table with 55 points. The "Citizens" will play their next match away against Everton. The match will start on April 19 at 19:00 Tashkent time.
