Anderson still pained by England defeat but ready to shine at Manchester City

The Guardian · 2 hours ago

Elliot Anderson says England’s World Cup semi-final defeat by Argentina remains painful, but he intends to use confidence gained from the tournament to make an immediate impact at Manchester City. The 23-year-old could debut against Arsenal in the Community Shield, beginning a new chapter despite the disappointment of England’s loss.

Anderson joined City from Nottingham Forest for £116m and may become especially important if Rodri leaves amid Barcelona’s interest, including a reported £51m bid. He says he can operate in several midfield roles and was not deterred by Pep Guardiola’s departure, citing the chance to develop alongside elite players under new head coach Enzo Maresca.

  • Anderson aims to turn World Cup disappointment into confidence at City.
  • He could debut against Arsenal in the Community Shield.
  • Rodri’s potential departure could increase Anderson’s midfield role.
