“I hate to sound unprofessional, but I’m honestly fed up with him at this point. He’s not contributing anything to the team, and I can’t understand why he’s always included in our lineup,” Manchester City star Jeremy Doku reportedly vented his frustration, criticizing a teammate despite their loss to Manchester United.

Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku has commended Manchester United’s Rasmus Højlund for his outstanding performance in their recent clash. Despite City’s 2-1 defeat, Doku was impressed by Højlund’s relentless aggression and threat throughout the match.

Højlund played a pivotal role in United’s comeback victory, consistently pressuring City’s defense and forcing errors.

After Josko Gvardiol gave City the lead with a header, United turned the game around with two late goals — Bruno Fernandes equalized from the penalty spot, and Amad Diallo secured the winner.

The defeat leaves City trailing league leaders Liverpool by nine points. Doku’s acknowledgment of Højlund’s impact underscores the United forward’s growing prominence. His ability to unsettle defenses could be crucial to United’s ambitions this season.

Doku’s remarks also highlight City’s difficulty in handling Højlund’s aggressive playing style. As the season unfolds, the young striker’s performances will remain a significant talking point.
