Kaden Braithwaite Makes Debut for Manchester City

Kaden Braithwaite, a 16-year-old footballer, made history by debuting for Manchester City against Watford in the EFL Cup, becoming the youngest player to start under manager Pep Guardiola in the 21st century. His debut marked a significant milestone, as he is now the third youngest player in the club's history. Despite only training with the first team once prior to the match, Braithwaite impressed Guardiola enough to earn a starting position alongside senior players, contributing to City's 2-1 victory. He has been a key player for City's youth teams and was previously vice-captain of the U-18 squad. Braithwaite, who has Jamaican heritage, is known for his versatility as a defender and has been with Manchester City since age nine. His performance has drawn attention to the club's successful academy system, which has produced several recent first-team players.
