Ever since the takeover by Emirati billionaire Sheik Mansour in 2008, Manchester City's fortunes have been on the up. In the last decade, City have been one of the most successful teams in the Premier League.
It is thanks to their spectacular recruitment of players and a continued investment in the club's project.
This even extends to the managers that have been employed by City in the past few years. City lifted their first league title under Roberto Mancini. After a brief but successful spell with Manuel Pellegrini, they appointed Pep Guardiola with a clear mission of total English domination.
The players at City who have brought so much in terms of silverware to the club also deserve massive credit.
On that note, let's take a look at
5 current Manchester City players who have won the most career trophies
#5 Raheem Sterling - 9 major trophies
Raheem Sterling is a player who has been a major part of the success City have enjoyed on the domestic front.
Sterling came through the ranks as a teenager at rival club Liverpool where he proved his explosive talent on the wings. This was enough to convince City to make him the then most expensive English player of all time by signing him for an estimated £49 million in 2015.
Raheem Sterling's career since then has been on the ascendency thanks to Guardiola's proven methods and brilliant man management.
He has won a career total of nine major trophies at City. Sterling has three Premier League titles, five English League Cups and one F.A. Cup victory to his name.
#4 İlkay Gündoğan & Benjamin Mendy - 10 major trophies
In 2016, Manchester City made a move for German midfielder İlkay Gündoğan that saw him switch to blue from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. He was brought to the English side in a deal worth £20 million.
Throughout the years Gündoğan has made extraordinary performances from City's midfield. This has surely made him one of the undroppable members of the club's first team. He has even reveled in the role of a false striker, scoring 13 goals last season, all thanks to Guardiola's ingenious coaching.
Gündoğan has so far lifted a total of ten trophies across his time in England and Germany. He is a three-time Premier League and a 2011-12 Bundesliga winner.
Benjamin Mendy is another player who deserves a mention on our list. He too has been an exceptional player for Manchester City.
He has won a grand total of 10 trophies so far in his career. He is a Premier League winner with City and a Ligue 1 champion with AS Monaco. Mendy is also a 2018 World Cup winner thanks to his performances for the French National Team.
#3 Kevin De Bruyne & Gabriel Jesus - 12 major trophies
Kevin De Bruyne is a player who has been sensational on every occasion he has played for Manchester City. He was bought by City in 2015 from German side Wolfsburg for a then club-record fee of £55 million.
In 273 professional appearances for City, he has racked up a total of 108 assists and over 70 goals for the club. He is also the joint-highest assist maker in one season with Thierry Henry (20).
He has surely been his team's talisman ever since he signed for the club. De Bruyne's excellent vision and incredible playmaking has made him a modern legend at the club.
De Bruyne has won a total 12 major trophies across his time with Manchester City, Wolfsburg and KRC Genk.
Gabriel Jesus is another player who has been a part of City's winning run throughout the years. Jesus was signed as a wonderkid from Brazil in 2016 for a £27 million fee to lead the line for the club.
So far in his career he has also won a total of 12 trophies. He is also a gold medal winner with the Brazilian National team at the 2016-17 Olympics.
#2 Ederson & Bernardo Silva - 13 major trophies
Ederson has been an incremental part of City's recent successes. The Brazilian's magnificent shot-stopping and quick footwork has seen him rise as one of City's most important players. He was bought from Benfica in a deal worth £35 million.
So far he has won a grand total of 13 major trophies. He is a three-time Premier League winner, a four-time English League Cup winner and an F.A. Cup winner with City. Ederson's other accolades come from his time at SL Benfica and the Brazilian national team.
Bernardo Silva is another player in the City dressing room who has won a total of 13 trophies.
Thanks to his distinguished performances at French side AS Monaco, he was brought to City in £43.5 million. So far he has won the Premier League, F.A. Cup and English League Cup at City. Silva's other accolades come from his time at AS Monaco and the Portuguese national team.
#1 Fernandinho - 25 major trophies
Fernandinho is by far the most successful player in the ranks at Manchester City. He is their captain and a total midfield general on the pitch.
Fernandinho has enjoyed incredible success during his time in Ukraine with club Shakhtar Donetsk. He has lifted 13 trophies with the Ukrainian champions.
Since moving to England in 2013, he has surely gone on to become one of the best players in his position for both club and country. So far he has lifted over 25 major trophies in his career. He is a four-time winner of the Premier League, a six-time English League Cup winner and a 2019 F.A. Cup winner.
