Manchester City academy graduate Tommy Doyle has been told exactly what he needs to do if he is to stand a chance of finding a place in City's first-team squad when he returns from his loan spell.
City's former Elite Development Squad captain Doyle is currently on loan at Championship side Sheffield United, and is starting to earn plenty of plaudits for his performances for the Blades. He and fellow City youngster James McAtee moved east over the Pennines for the 2022/23 season, but it's Doyle who is establishing himself as a regular feature of Paul Heckingbottom's side.
The 21-year-old - who is the grandson of City legends Mike Doyle and Glyn Pardoe - has earned plaudits from both Sheffield United staff and supporters for his eagerness to get stuck in and willingness to learn in his new environment. In turn his performances have steadily improved, and as a result he has started six of United's seven league matches since the international break.
