The new "Premier" league season will start on August 13, which means that there are only 3 days left until the start of the English championship. As the competitions approach, Eurofootball.com will provide you with an overview of all twenty "Premier" league teams. This time, we will review the past season of the "Manchester City" team, which finished in fourth place in the "Premier" league last season and will start this season with a new coach, a group of newcomers, and ambitious goals. "Manchester City" History: The team was founded in 1880 and will compete in the "Premier" league for the 20th season. The best finish in this league - 1st place (2 times). The team will play in the "Premier" league for the 15th consecutive season. Last year's season: In the 2015-2016 "Premier" league season, "Manchester City" had an inconsistent performance, which led to them not competing for the championship title at the end of the season and having to fight for the opportunity to play in the Champions League next year. In the end, they managed to secure the fourth place and a place in the Champions League qualifying rounds.

The most expensive summer purchases for "City" were talented young players. The acquisition of 20-year-old winger Leroy Sane from "Schalke" for 50 million euros was recently announced, and the club added another expensive player yesterday. For 22-year-old center-back John Stones, "City" paid a sum of 55.6 million euros.

A 19-year-old striker from Brazil, Gabriel Jesus was acquired for 32 million euros. However, there hasn't been a major player sale at the club yet.
