James McAtee assesses his future with Manchester City

James McAtee is facing important decisions regarding his future with Manchester City. He is also eligible for two international tournaments this summer. This season has been tough for McAtee, who returned to Manchester City after a two-year loan at Sheffield United. Although he impressed in pre-season, he has struggled to get playing time in the Premier League. He has played only short stints, averaging just 12 minutes when he comes off the bench. So far, he has scored six goals in 21 appearances, including a hat-trick in the FA Cup. With more players returning to the squad, McAtee's chances to play regularly may decrease. However, he could have an opportunity to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup in the USA this summer, which runs from June 13 to July 13. Additionally, he is eligible to play for England in the under-21 European Championships, happening in Slovakia from June 11-28. McAtee said he will discuss his options with manager Pep Guardiola soon. He mentioned the importance of getting his opinion heard, indicating he would like to take part in both tournaments. England under-21 coach Lee Carsley also emphasized the decision should be made by the players, stating that while the Club World Cup is a significant opportunity, McAtee is a valuable asset for the national team. After a recent conversation with Carsley, McAtee feels more confident. Carsley reassured him of his potential and encouraged him to play freely.
