 which saw Wang having to fight for his position as first choice goalkeeper for the significantly larger squad. Nevertheless during the end of the season English football club Manchester City FC decided to give him a trail along with several other Shanghai players. While nothing came out of the trail Wang's form significantly improved after a disappointing 2007 season with Shanghai Shenhua and he would establish himself as the first choice goalkeeper the following season where he saw the club narrowly miss out on the league title. During the league break Wang would once again have another trail, this time with Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven, however because of this Wang missed out on the clubs pre-season and he actually lost place within the squad to Qiu Shengjiong
