Manchester United will be hoping to join rivals Manchester City in the draw for the semi-final of the FA Cup later today.
Man City goal-machine Carlos Borges on first-team ambitions, learning from Mahrez and copying Mane
28.02.2023 - 14:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
When it comes to confidence, Manchester City's 18-goal winger Carlos Borges isn't short of any. Nor is he lacking in ambition, with a domestic and European double in his sights.
Borges has an impressive 23 goals and 14 assists from just 25 appearances this season and leads the way in the academy scoring charts - with only Erling Haaland scoring more for the club this season across men's, women's and academy teams, and Borges is level with Haaland when it comes to total goal contributions. His electric pace and tendency to score hat-tricks in big games have seen fans call for the Portuguese to be given a shot with the first team.
For now, though, all Borges is thinking about is emulating the previous academy groups that have gone before him - and then going one better to bring home a trophy City have never won before.

"We still have to achieve the league. We want to win the league. We also want to win the Youth League. A lot of stuff to compete for," he told MEN Sport.
"I'm definitely excited for the Youth League. The Youth League has been my target from the start of the season. I really want to do well, hopefully we can win it. I'm definitely looking forward to it. The club's never won it, it's really important for a club like us to win it or get to the final. Let's hope we can do it."
City begin their Youth League knockout campaign this week at Hajduk Split, before a potential quarter-final with Paris Saint-Germain or Borussia Dortmund if they get through. The Blues have struggled in the academy equivalent to the Champions League in the past, but Borges is keen to do things at City that have never been done before.
