Breaking news: Man City sign defender despite record bid from Manchester United
Man City sign defender despite record bid from Manchester United
The blue half of Manchester have been the dominant force in English football for the better part of the last decade.
Man Utd have struggled mightily in the post-Ferguson era and the two clubs’ respective transfer business in that time
is chalk and cheese.
While City rarely miss in the market, United rarely hit. As such, it’ll come as a stinging blow to United fans to learn
they’re about to lose one of their most promising young talents to their near neighbours.
Fabrizio Romano brought news of City edging closer to an agreement to pluck 17-year-old centre-back Harrison
Parker from United’s academy back in July.
Man City had reportedly fended off stiff competition from four unnamed clubs to take the lead for Parker. However,
that only told half of the story.
Indeed, the transfer guru reported Man Utd had tabled a significant offer to Parker that would’ve made him their
highest paid youth player.
Alas, the offer has not turned Parker’s head according to the latest update from Romano.
Providing the latest on Friday morning, Romano simply quote tweeted his previous tweet from July with a tick
symbol.
In other words, City have wrapped up their raid on Man Utd.
Confirming the development in a follow-up tweet, Romano added City will “formally complete” the coup later today.
Parker’s announcement could coincide with confirmation England Under-17 international, Divine Mukasa, is also
joining.

Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand are right about £72m Manchester United transfer decision
It was never going to be plain-sailing for Denmark prospect Rasmus Hojlund to settle into life at Old Trafford after
Manchester United splashed out £72million for his signature this summer.
Signed to replace Cristiano Ronaldo – six months after the iconic Portuguese ended his second coming on a bitter
note – the young striker has also had to deal with unfair Erling Haaland comparisons and the man who was initially
picked out as their prime attacking target.
Hojlund and Harry Kane incidentally went head-to-head or goal-for-goal at the Allianz Arena and the apprentice
performed every bit as well as the master.
Kane and Bayern Munich were the ones who were celebrating when the full-time whistle sounded.
However, that is merely a reflection of where the two European giants are at, right now, as Hojlund and United play
catch-up with anyone above them in football’s new world order.
If constant headlines weighing up Hojlund to Ronaldo, Haaland and Kane were not enough, the 20-year-old had to
get up to speed slightly later than anticipated owing to a minor injury setback upon his arrival.
At that juncture, the wheels had already started to come off for his misfiring teammates.
