Ex Liverpool star claims Man City's Manuel Akanji 'makes too many mistakes' after transfer

New Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji 'made too many mistake' during his time with Borussia Dortmund, according to former City and Liverpool star Didi Hamann.

On deadline day, City confirmed the signing of the Switzerland international on a five-year deal, with the 27-year-old having made 158 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit since January 2018. The centre-back, who has featured 41 times for his country and played a key role in their qualification for the World Cup, now links up with former Dortmund team-mate Erling Haaland following the striker's move to the Etihad Stadium earlier this summer.

Akanji became the sixth addition to Pep Guardiola 's side during the transfer window, with Haaland, Julian Alvarez, Kalvin Phillips, Sergio Gomez and Stefan Ortega Moreno all signing for the reigning Premier League champions this summer.
