New Manchester City signing Manuel Akanji has revealed he was a Manchester United fan growing up but doesn't support the Red Devils anymore after reaching a "certain level" as a player.
The 27-year-old made the £15million switch to the Etihad Stadium from Borussia Dortmund on deadline day - becoming Pep Guardiola's fifth and final signing of the summer. He followed Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland to City, with Kalvin Phillips, Stefan Ortega and Julian Alvarez also making the move as Guardiola shuffled the pack.
Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling both departed the club to join Arsenal and Chelsea respectively, with Guardiola refreshing his squad, especially in the attacking positions. But Akanji has come in to bolster the back-line with John Stones and Aymeric Laporte currently out injured.
