Marmoush played 74 minutes of City's 3-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday, marking his first appearance since joining f🌠rom Eintracht Fran🌄kfurt earlier this week.
Th😼e Egypt international almost capped his debut with a first-half goal, only for the offside flag to deny him, before also going close ꧒in the second period at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland, who scored one and set up another for Phil Foden, believes🦄 Ma👍rmoush has already shown the quality that made City target him.
"I think especially in the first half you can see he has something special," Haaland told Sky Sports. "There’s a reason City brought him, because he has something 𝓰special.
"He got straight into the team and 🐭it’s about getting to know him as soon as possible because there ar꧒e so many important games coming.
“It’s about giving him conf♊idence and he’s going to be a fantastic player for us."
Haaland knows all too well about moving from the Bundesliga. Like Marmoush, the Norway talisman💎 impressed in the competition♑ with Borussia Dortmund before joining City.
Marmoush will add a different d🏅imension to Guardiola's attack, too, with tꦍhe former Eintracht attacker making regular narrow runs inside to support Haaland.
His work rate was impressive as well, Marmoush winning five duels againsꩲt Chelsea, the most of any City player bar Mateo Kovacic (six).
"It’s always nice [to have new faces]. I’ve been a new player before tr♋ying to come in with a different energy and different personality," Haaland addeꦰd.
"It’s also nice to get to know new people and of course play wi🌌th good players, that’s what you want."
Marmo🙈ush managed 15 goals a𝐆nd laid on 10 assists in just 17 Bundesliga appearances for Eintracht in 2024-25, and Haaland hopes his team-mate can now have the same impact on the blue side of Manchester.
"He had an amazing first ha𓆉lf of the season for Eintracht Frankfurt and hopefully, he’s going to have the same season with us now for the second half of the season," Haaland concluded.
