Marmoush expressed his enthusiasm about joining Manchester City, stating, "With Pep Guardiola, his technical staff, and the world-class facilities here, players have everything they need to become better. That was really enticing for me when I had the chance to come here."

The Egyptian forward also emphasized his desire to win trophies, acknowledging Manchester City's successful history. "I cannot deny I also want to win trophies. City have been the most successful club in England for many, many years, so I know I am joining a winning environment and winning culture... I want to become a valued member of this winning team."
