What's that old saying about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery?
Do they not realise the significance was that Tevez played for United (with a great amount of success), then joined City immediately after? He was a cult hero and then he joined their rivals. Real egg on face stuff.
Sancho left City 4 years ago having only spent 2 years in the academy having made no impact on the first team. No City fan particularly loves him, partially because they never had the chance to.
On top of that, there's you know, the whole Manchester - Salford thing!!
This would be like if we did the same stunt for fucking Kanchelskis, except even then it'd have made more sense than this because the Manchester dig still works.
