Four days after debut 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 2018–19 EFL Cup third round against Oxford United after being named in the starting line-up.[12][13]

Muric wordt door NAC voor een seizoen gehuurd van Manchester City en wordt beschouwd als de opvolger van de vertrokken Nigel Bertrams. De 19-jarige Muric, een boom van een vent getuige zijn lengte van 1.98-meter, is geboren in Zürich en in het bezit van een Zwitsers en een Montenegrijns paspoort. [...] Tot op heden speelde Muric enkel jeugdwedstrijden voor Manchester City, dat hem in 2016 overnam van Grasshopper. Ondanks dat hij een leven lang in Zwitserland woonde, maakte Muric eind 2017 zijn debuut voor het nationale jeugdteam (onder 21) van Montenegro.
