Oxford United’s Kassam Stadium could be Manchester City goalkeeper Aro Muric’s big break between the sticks.
Pep Guardiola seriously considering throwing the 19-year-old in for the Carabao Cup tie.
He was on loan at NAC Breda when Claudio Bravo ruptured his Achilles last month, playing only one game in the Eredivisie. Guardiola and his goalkeeping coach, Xabi Mancisidor, had wanted Muric to play regular football but instead of signing a new understudy to cope with Bravo’s absence, sent for the teenager.
Oxford City will be hoping to pull off a League Cup giant-killing when they welcome Manchester City to the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday.
