Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji has moved to clarify suggestions he supports Manchester United.
Akanji, 27, was signed by the Premier League champions on deadline day and made his debut during a Champions League victory against Sevilla last Tuesday night. In that Group G opener, the Swiss international started alongside Ruben Dias at centre-back and helped City keep a relatively straightforward clean sheet.
At the other end, Erling Haaland did most of the damage with two goals and - along with Akanji - is set to face his old club Borussia Dortmund in the same competition next. Dortmund visit the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night (8pm) as Pep Guardiola and his star-studded team continue their quest for European honours.
