Arsene Wenger says Man City will have to 'change two or three players' ahead of next season despite club winning Treble | The Sun

ARSENE WENGER reckons Manchester City need to inject young blood into their first team for next season.

Unstoppable City have flown home to the UK after beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League Final in Istanbul to cap a marvellous Treble-winning season.


Wenger, who won three Premier League titles with Arsenal, knows what it is like to lift silverware and then immediately prepare in earnest for the next campaign.

The Frenchman believes City need to focus on youth if they want to go again and repeat this success.

Wenger, 73, said: “I must say, I was thinking as well at the celebrations: What do you now at City?

“Do you go for a new challenge? Motivate yourself for a new challenge?

“Or do you stay, take advantage of the credit and continue to develop this team?

“They will lose maybe important players. This team is not an old team but there are no young players.

“Apart FROM (Erling) Haaland, who is 22 now, all the others are between 24 and 32 years old.

“So two or three new players will need to change. They have to find same the quality again.”
