The squad consists of 27 players, including Scott Carson, Kalvin Phillips, Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish.

However, one member of the group is actually registered with the French and City-owned club Troyes.

20-year-old Amar Fatah spent last season on loan at Belgian club Lommel SK, which is also part of the City group.

Now Man City fans are excited to see if they will see the Swede play for Pep Guardiola’s team during the trip across the Atlantic.

One posted: “We need to see Amar Fatah play a few minutes.”

A second commented: “Will he play?”

A third wrote: “How is this possible?”

A fourth said: “A man like Amar Fatah.”
