Bayern Munich star Georgia Stanway opens up about "difficult time" at Man City

Bayern Munich’s Georgia Stanway has opened up about a “difficult time” while playing at Manchester City.

Stanway, one of England’s heroes during their victorious Euro 2022 campaign, completed a transfer to Bayern Munich in May.

The 23-year-old had been at Manchester City for seven years, becoming the team’s all-time top scorer with 57 goals in January.

In an interview with DW Sports, Stanway revealed that it hadn’t always been plain sailing at the club. In fact, a difficult last season prompted the midfielder to look for a move.

Manchester City endured a turbulent campaign last season, coming back from a torrid start to finish third.

They were ravaged by injury, with a number of the team’s key players on the sidelines for a significant period of time.

With Stanway maintaining her fitness throughout the season, she was used in a number of different positions across the pitch.

“I was in a position where I was being classed as versatile,” she explained. “I was playing in every single position, just trying to do a job for the team, and that’s not something that I wanted.

“That was obviously a really difficult time when you don’t know if you’re coming or going, you don’t know if you’re here or there.

“You’re not able to get any consistency in your game because you’re just classed as ‘a helper.’ It was a case of whatever happened, whatever position I was in, it was just trying to get the best out of it.

“Ultimately, I was able to knuckle down a position for the Euros, it worked out well but it also could have gone the other way.”

Stanway has made three appearances for Bayern Munich in the Frauen-Bundesliga so far, playing a crucial role in her side’s 4-0 victory against MSV Duisburg yesterday.
