However, now, Manchester City’s newest signing Rayan Cherki is looking on carving a legacy at the Citizens and has been reported in an interview with goal.com to be planning to “kill” Manchester United whilst at Manchester United.
Commenting after a training session, Cherki said:
“I didn’t like it when Manchester United won the game against Lyon because I am a Lyonnais. Now I am waiting for the game (to) kill them. I just (wanted) to go to Manchester City.”
Cherki played in the Europa League quarter-final tie between Manchester United and Lyon where the Red Devils came out on top with a stoppage time winner in extra time during the second leg at Old Trafford.
This has created anger within the French international who is now looking for an opportunity to avenge this defeat and beat Manchester United – City’s rivals.
With Cherki settling into the Manchester City spirit quickly, will he be able to succeed at avenging Lyon’s defeat and defeating Manchester United or will he fall at the hurdle against the Red Devils once again?
Only time will tell.
