Leroy Sane's struggles at Manchester City: the curious case of the £37m kid

There were flashes - a few glimpses - of what Manchester City supporters might expect of Leroy Sane during the Champions League draw with Celtic.

There were times when Germany's most expensive player of all time wickedly beat his man and delivered the sort of devilish cross you might expect of a £37million winger.

There were also occasions when Sane struggled to exert any sort of influence on supposed inferior opposition, looking puzzled as to why he did not consistently have Mikael Lustig's number.

It is fair to say Pep Guardiola was also perplexed, seen shaking his head, leaning backwards in disappointment at mistakes.
