‘One for the future’, ‘hope Pep gives him a proper chance’ – Man City Fans react to Carlos Borges’ ‘Crazy’ stats this season

Manchester City prospect Carlos Borges is quickly becoming one of the most exciting talents around at the Etihad Stadium.

Born in 2004, the 18-year-old winger is blessed with pace and skill who can play on both sides and absolutely loves rinsin full-backs.

He has been at City for eight years and has recovered well from suffering a broken metatarsal prior to the 2020/23 campaign.

City’s under-21s were inspired by Carlos Borges as the winger scored twice in an impressive 3-1 victory against Derby County in the Papa John’s Trophy.

Borges gave the Blues the lead with a fine strike which flew past Scott Loach in the Rams goal into the roof of the net. The hosts were level just ten minutes later though as City failed to clear a corner and David McGoldrick tapped home.

The Portuguese star added his second 15 minutes after the break in controversial fashion, rounding the ‘keeper before tapping home superbly but the home fans felt there was a foul just beforehand.

Borges’ thought he completed his hat-trick in the first minute of stoppage time as he tapped home a cross but it was adjudged as a Craig Forsyth own goal.

Carlos Borges now has 11 goals in 14 games for the Manchester City’s EDS squad so far this season, while also contributing to seven assists.
