Manchester City coach Guardiola shouted after this round of the game, saying that "If Manchester City does not reduce its lineup, they will resign." His speech instantly sparked heated discussions in the football world.

Manchester City currently has 28 players in the first team, of which only De Bruyne is determined to leave the team this summer. In addition, the contract of 39-year-old goalkeeper Carson will expire this summer. Next season, six players, including Gundogan, Ortega, Stones, Ederson, B Seat and McCarthy, will also enter the contract year.

In terms of age, there are 9 players in Manchester City who are over 30 years old, namely Ederson, Ortega, Carson, Ak, Stones, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Kovaci and B Seal, and Glalish and Akanji are about to turn 30.

In addition, Manchester City will also welcome the return of several loan players this summer, including Walker, Phillips, Esbrand and Perone.

How do you think Manchester City will rebuild the lineup this summer, who should leave and who should stay?
