The revamped2025 FIFA Club World Cup spanned the period between the 2024–25 and 2025–26 English football seasons. City's involvement in this competition is documented on their2024–25 season page.
It had been anticipated that City's squad would need a major overhaul in the summer to remain competitive at the highest level after a trophyless season. While this transition began in the previous January transfer window, further changes were expected, particularly in midfield, at full-back and potentially at centre-half if the club chose to offload some of their aging and injury-prone players. Between 9 and 11 June, the transfers of left-backRayan Aït-Nouri fromWolverhampton Wanderers; midfieldersTijjani Reijnders fromMilan andRayan Cherki fromLyon; and of back-up goalkeeperMarcus Bettinelli fromChelsea were duly completed in time for the players to join the squad for the Club World Cup at a total estimated cost of £112 million.[1][2][3][4] Goalkeeper and formerManchester City EDS playerJames Trafford also rejoined the club fromBurnley for £31 million, after the World Cup.[5] Key departures includedJack Grealish, who was sent on loan toEverton.[6] The full squad regrouped for pre-season training at the City Football Academy on 28 July 2025. Fans were welcomed back through aCity Are Back open training session at Joie Stadium on 5 August, providing supporters the first chance to see the new signings in action.[7]
On 7 July 2025, Manchester City announced a friendly against sister clubPalermo to contest the inaugural Anglo-Palermitan Trophy. On 2 August, a behind-closed-doors friendly at the City Football Academy againstPreston North End was played, ending in a 1–0 win thanks to a goal fromRico Lewis. On 9 August, City's single open, full-match friendly against Palermo resulted in a convincing 3–0 victory.[8]
Manchester City launched theirleague campaign with an emphatic 4–0 away victory overWolverhampton Wanderers atMolineux on 16 August 2025.Erling Haaland continued his tradition of scoring on opening days, netting a brace with goals in the 34th and 61st minutes.Tijjani Reijnders, making his Premier League debut, scored one and was instrumental in both of Haaland's goals–delivering a dynamic and influential performance.[9]
City next facedTottenham Hotspur at the City of Manchester Stadium on 23 August. Tottenham secured a 2–0 victory, with goals fromBrennan Johnson in the 35th minute andJoão Palhinha in first-half stoppage time. Tottenham's disciplined defence and pressing game under their new managerThomas Frank proved decisive.[10]
On 31 August, Manchester City suffered a 2–1 defeat toBrighton & Hove Albion at theAmerican Express Community Stadium in the Premier League.[11] Despite taking the lead through Erling Haaland in the 34th minute—his 88th goal in 100 league appearances—City were undone in the second half. Former Blue,James Milner, equalised from the penalty spot in the 67th minute after a hand-ball fromMatheus Nunes, andBrajan Gruda netted the winner in the 89th minute following a late surge by Brighton. The loss marked City's second consecutive league defeat, raising concerns about their early-season form.
On transfer deadline day, 1 September 2025, Manchester City concluded several significant moves. The most notable was the signing of Italian goalkeeperGianluigi Donnarumma fromParis Saint-Germain for £26 million,[12] intended to succeedEderson, who departed forFenerbahçe after eight seasons at the club.[13] Other key exits includedİlkay Gündoğan toGalatasaray andManuel Akanji on loan toInter Milan.[14][15]
Following the September 2025international break, Manchester City recorded consecutive victories. On 14 September, City defeatedManchester United 3–0 at home in the Premier League, with goals fromPhil Foden and a brace from Erling Haaland.[16] Four days later, on 18 September 2025, City beatNapoli 2–0 in their openingUEFA Champions League league stage match. Haaland scored his 50th goal in the competition in his 49th appearance, becoming the fastest player to reach the milestone, whileJérémy Doku added the second against the Italian side, who played most of the match with ten men.[17]
Manchester City resumed their league campaign on 21 September with a 1–1 draw atArsenal. Erling Haaland put City ahead after nine minutes, but Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage-time equaliser rescued a point for the hosts.[18][19] Three days later, on 24 September 2025, City advanced in theEFL Cup with a 2–0 victory overHuddersfield Town in the third round, as Phil Foden opened the scoring andSavinho doubled the lead.[20][21] This was followed up with an emphatic 5–1 Premier League victory over Burnley on 27 September. The match featured two own goals fromMaxime Estève, an injury time brace from Haaland, and a strike from Matheus Nunes, while Rico Lewis marked his 100th senior appearance for the club.[22][23] This result left City in seventh place and five points behind early leaders and defending championsLiverpool.
In their second match of the Champions League league phase, City drewMonaco 2–2 away from home.[24] Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 15th minute, beforeJordan Teze equalised three minutes later. Despite City taking a 2–1 lead into half-time thanks to another Haaland header, they were unable to maintain their advantage asEric Dier converted a late penalty to secure a point for Monaco.
A further Haaland goal and a 1–0 away win atBrentford on 5 October meant City went into the second international break in fifth place, just three points behind new league leaders Arsenal. Haaland's 12 goals in nine appearances so far this season had elevated him to the top of theEuropean Golden Shoe standings alongsideHarry Kane andKylian Mbappé, and into the list of thetop 10 all-time City goalscorers after just over three seasons at the club.[25]
Returning to domestic competition, City extended their winning run with a 2–0 home victory overEverton on 19 October, with Haaland reaching double figures for league goals.[26] Three days later, City recorded another 2–0 win away toVillarreal, moving into seventh place in the Champions League league standings.[27] At this point, Haaland had scored in 12 consecutive appearances for club and country. This streak, and the club's winning streak, ended soon after with a 1–0 away defeat toAston Villa, marking the third consecutive season that City had lost this fixture.[28] By the end of October, City sat fifth in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Arsenal.[29]
City started November with a 3–1 win againstBournemouth at home, with Haaland pushing his goal tally to 13 in the league. In the second half,Nico O'Reilly registered his first goal of the season with a composed left foot shot into the bottom right corner. Before the November international break, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3–0 at the Etihad Stadium in what was Pep Guardiola's 1000th game in football management. Although Erling Haaland’s early penalty was saved by Georgian backup goalkeeperGiorgi Mamardashvili, he later opened the scoring with a header.Nico González and Jérémy Doku added further goals from outside the penalty area. The result left City in second place in the Premier League, four points behind leaders Arsenal.[30]
