The £84m-rated star, who was once described as a " pure difference-maker " by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has the pace, technical quality, and movement to constantly make things happen at the top end of the pitch, much like Marmoush.

Marmoush's goal tally included four braces, against Wolfsburg, Holstein Kiel, Bayern Munich and Heidenheim. His final two appearances for the German side featured two goals and an asisst, helping lift the club to third in the table at the time of his departure.

City also face Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest over the coming weeks while an FA Cup fourth round tie with Leyton Orient should see them into a last 16 clash to take place in early March.

Giggs, then an analyst for Uefa, saw Marmoush at an under-17s tournament in Dubai and told an agent about him, who alerted Pierre Littbarski, head of scouting at Wolfsburg. "Marmoush was really fast at that time, took a lot of risks, was technically strong and did some surprising things." Littbarski said later. "He was an uncut diamond."
