The path has already been opened up by the media with United briefings that the desire to play for Pep thing was overstated.
If true what that really means, of course, is that what he actually wanted was to go anywhere that would have him.
Which he could have done last Summer but didn't. As Arsenal would have sold him to PSG or Bayern then. Until his demands for money got in the way.
We thought that was him quoting silly money to put them off as he only ever wanted to come to City.
We also took it as possible he was doing the same to United as late as a few days ago.
He has proved where his loyalty lay and that was to a bank account not any club.
Though we will get the sell that he bought into United's vision and guff like - 'City we are coming to get you'.
We should just reply with what we told his agent - 'Bye-eee'
