He is? So why isn't he a product of your academy then?
There was a huge media charm/offensive from City about their new state of the art academy stuff, new buildings, new technology, all that stuff. Spent like £100m on building these facilities and then invited the media to come and have a look at it. There was a whole bunch of articles about it, how they had the best facilities and talent in all the land so obviously quite a few people saw that stuff and wanted what was apparently best for their kids.
Turns out it's a shit show, you only get picked if you're friendly with the coaches and the English lads don't really get a chance (not my words). Meanwhile, United keep churning out youth players into the first team.
So yeah, he's also not from Manchester. We also only have room for so many youth players, we can't have them all.
