Jayden Braaf claimed two assists for Manchester City in their 3-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk today.
Manchester City fans have hailed Jayden Braaf’s showing for them in the UEFA Youth League.
City won 3-1 against Shakhtar Donetsk earlier today, and it was Braaf’s showing which was the highlight of the contest.
The 17-year-old absolutely tore Shakhtar’s defence to pieces, and set up all three of City’s goals.
The Ukrainian side just could not deal with Braaf’s skill and trickery, as he caused them no end of problems all game.
And City fans have hailed Braaf, although they are slightly concerned that he may look to leave them like Jadon Sancho did, unless he is given more first-team chances.
Sancho, of course, has gone on to become one of England’s biggest stars since leaving City for Borussia Dortmund.
City will desperately want to avoid losing Braaf, who actually possesses a similar skill set to Sancho.
The winger is quick, tricky and is fearless when on the ball.
Braaf’s best chances of breaking into City’s team may come in the cup competitions, with Pep Guardiola’s side due to face Preston North End in the Carabao Cup in a week’s time.
