Ndiaye made his Manchester City debut with a victory: This is the level I want to be at.

Senegalese winger Ndiaye made his Manchester City debut in the third round of the 2026/27 Premier League season, starting in a 1-0 victory over Coventry City. In an interview, Ndiaye stated that this is the level of competition he wants to reach and expressed his optimism for the future.

The 26-year-old Ndiaye previously played for Everton and officially joined Manchester City earlier this month.

In the match against Coventry City, Semenho chipped a pass from the right wing into the box in the 26th minute, and Haaland headed the ball into the net, giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Enzo passed the ball back from the penalty area to the front of the goal, and Haaland stepped up and pushed the ball into the net. However, Enzo was offside before the goal, so the goal was disallowed.

Manchester City ultimately defeated Coventry City 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium, achieving their third consecutive victory.

Speaking about his Manchester City debut, Ndiaye shared, "I really enjoyed the game, this is the level I want to be at. There's nothing better than starting a new journey with a win. It feels great, and our only goal is to win the game."

“These past few days have been really great. I’m now a part of Manchester City, so I’m very happy. I’m also happy to have completed the transfer, and my teammates have given me a very warm welcome. Maresca is an excellent manager, and as we’ve both said, every game from now on will be tough.”

Ndiaye continued, "I hope the team can continue to maintain this form, but it's just the beginning. I still have a lot to accomplish here, and a lot of titles to fight for. That's why I'm here, and I can't wait to see what our future holds."

Besides Ndiaye, Argentine Enzo also made his Manchester City debut in this match. Manchester City striker Haaland said in an interview, "I think both of them played very well. Enzo played an important role in the goal, and he actually had several other good scoring opportunities, so he did a very good job."

"And then there's Ndiaye, everyone can see his ability right away. The way he breaks through defenders, and the fluidity of his dribbling, it's really spectacular."

In addition, Haaland said, "There are reasons why the team signed them, because they all have excellent abilities. For them, the most important thing now is to integrate into the team and adapt to the rhythm of the game as soon as possible. Of course, it's also important to perform well, because that's something we all have to do."
