There is some talk that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will buy a minority stake under the agreement that he will have some control over the footballing side of things. Also plans to increase Old Trafford to 90k capacity etc.
Yeah but De Bruyne is out for who knows how long, Foden can't really be trusted off the ball, so that only really leaves Bernardo who is often needed in wide positions also.
Arsenal is the only team City go long against with good effect, and you have Phillips on the bench who can, if nothing else, ping long balls for fun. Get him on for Kovacic who is a red card waiting to happen.
On ESPN they seemed to be suggesting that it was communication error. VAR booth saying it was OK meaning the goal, but the ref taking that to mean the on-field decision, so he allowed the game to play on with no check.
I think the reason clubs didn't go in for him is because he was allowed to "cheat" a little bit off the ball at Leicester, so the numbers would have suggested that he's a bit lightweight. Signing of the season so far though considering the money involved.
