Manchester City find themselves in a world of trouble right now without Pep Guardiola seemingly not having the answers. That is a sentence that has never been written before during the Spaniard's run in England. But at this moment, it is certainly very true. And could that lead to Celtic signing one of the brightest talents.

Celtic have a history of signing players from Manchester City and helping them fulfil their potential. The last name that comes to mind in that regard is Jeremie Frimpong, who is one of the best full-backs in the world today.

Recently, Celtic have been linked with another Manchester City talent. And with all the problems at the club right now, it might be a good opportunity to sign him.

The player we are talking about is none other than James McAtee. One of Manchester City's standouts at the youth level, he has found chances difficult to come by for the senior team. So, it might be time for a change in scenery. Just look at how that worked out for a certain Cole Palmer, who in the space of a year went from a rotational option for Guardiola to arguably the best in the Premier League with Chelsea.

McAtee continues to struggle for playing time at Manchester City. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored a goal in 7 appearances this season.

Even most of those minutes have come at the League Cup level. And at 22 years of age, the writing might be on the wall for McAtee.

A number of teams across Europe are seemingly interested in the Manchester City's talents signature. The good news for Celtic is that they have a great recent record of developing talents like McAtee. Hopefully, that helps them sign him.
