Weekend round-up
Saturday was mostly about business off the pitch, with a loan exit confirmed and the ongoing centre-back situation getting more scrutiny.
The club published six separate stories across the weekend, covering everything from a loan move to a World Cup quarter-final.
Sunday belonged to the international stage. Three City players joined Erling Haaland in advancing from Miami into the World Cup quarter-finals, meaning six members of the squad are now through to the last four of the competition.
The centre-back numbers remain tight, and decisions are looming before the season starts.
