Coming into the season as a promising youngster who’d made his first mark on the side but was yet to fully establish himself, the Academy graduate ended it by being our Etihad Player of the Season.
The 21-year-old Mancunian also claimed the Premier League Young Player of the Year gong for his starring role from left-back and into midfield.

Whether it’s matching the best wingers in the world when defending, powering forward at incredible pace, passing through midfield or popping up with important goal contributions, O’Reilly is truly an all-action star.
He played 53 times across all competitions in 2025/26 having quickly become one of Pep Guardiola’s most trusted lieutenants, scoring six goals and providing eight assists.
