Return to Manchester City

On 22 August 2018, with Muric having only played one game with NAC Breda, Manchester City recalled him from loan to replace injured goalkeeper Claudio Bravo as their second choice.[10] Three days later, he was named as a Manchester City substitute for the first time in a Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[11] His debut with Manchester City came on 25 September in the third round of 2018–19 EFL Cup against Oxford United after being named in the starting line-up.[12][13]

On 22 August 2017.

Despite previously declaring his will to play for Montenegro after not being called up for the senior team, he opted to represent Kosovo instead.[17]

Kosovo

On 26 August 2018, The Football Federation of Kosovo through a communiqué stated that after several months of talks, Muric had decided to say "yes" to playing for the Kosovo national team.[18][19]
