Luke Mbete is focusing on simple things as he looks to stay around the first team at Manchester City.
The 18-year-old defender caught the eye of Pep Guardiola last year after impressing in the academy, and while a serious injury curtailed that campaign he has recovered well this season. A senior debut came in the Carabao Cup win over Wycombe in September, while there have also been minutes recently in the FA Cup at Swindon and Champions League at home to Sporting.
Since Boxing Day, Mbete has made nine of the last 17 matchday squads with the first team manager feeling comfortable enough with the youngster's effort and ability to regularly involve him. Those experiences have been topped up by regular Premier League 2 football for the Under-23s, who are closing in on retaining their league title with three games to go.
