Manchester City is in urgent need of a leader to pull them out of their current slump. With the entire squad struggling to find form, they require someone capable of stepping up and making a significant impact. Ideally, this would be a player who can carry the team, though such a feat seems challenging given their poor run of just one win in 13 games.
