Reeling from a damaging loss in the Champions League, Manchester City took its spending this week to around $150 million by signing Egypt forward Omar Marmoush on Thursday in a move that provides some belated backup to star striker Erling Haaland.

Giggs, then an analyst for Uefa, saw Marmoush at an under-17s tournament in Dubai and told an agent about him, who alerted Pierre Littbarski, head of scouting at Wolfsburg. "Marmoush was really fast at that time, took a lot of risks, was technically strong and did some surprising things." Littbarski said later. "He was an uncut diamond."
