Manchester City [edit]
Denis Suárez signed for Manchester City on 23 May 2011.

He was an unused substitute in the League Cup game against Birmingham City. In the next round of the League Cup, he made his first competitive debut for the club by replacing Samir Nasri in the 67th minute in the 5–2 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. On 17 May 2012, Suarez starred for Manchester City reserves against Manchester United reserves in Manchester Senior Cup, although Manchester City lost 2-0.[3] In 2012, he was awarded Manchester City's Young Player of the Year as voted for by the fans.

He was also a member of the Spain U19 which won the 2012 Under-19 European Championship.
