Football fans have been left stunned after realising that a forgotten Manchester City star has won a trophy with the club every 20 minutes he has played for them.

Scott Carson was part of the City squad that lifted the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, August 16.

The reigning English champions set up a crunch date with 2023 Europa League winners, Sevilla, after securing the Champions League last season.

Pep Guardiola's men initially went a goal down courtesy of Youssef En-Nesyri's powerful header in the first half.

However, City restored parity via Cole Palmer to force the tie into post-match penalties.

Sky Sports reports that the Premier League giants went on to stun Sevilla 5-4 in the shootouts to win their first-ever European Super Cup.

Scott Carson continues trophy haul

City's triumph in the tournament saw Carson add yet another medal to his haul.

The veteran goalkeeper joined the Manchester club initially on loan in 2019.

However, he has played a total of just 107 minutes for the club, per The Sun.

Incredibly, he has won a total of five trophies in the process, averaging one every 20 minutes he has played for the club.

The 37-year-old has picked up two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, the Champions League, and the UEFA Super Cup.

Carson was part of the squad that played Sevilla but was an unused substitute.

Pep hints Palmer could be sold

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Cole Palmer’s future with Manchester City remains uncertain despite being the hero in their UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla on Wednesday night.

Manager Pep Guardiola said in an interview after City’s penalty shootout victory that the 21-year-old winger could be sold despite his fine finish against the reigning UEFA Europa League champs.

Palmer has been in fine form for City to start the season, making a strong case to be part of their first-team lineup this campaign.
