Suspect he will end up at City imho, but if he did go to Utd I can see him immediately replacing Slabhead in the starting line up despite that melt Southgate not seeing him worthy of a debut ahead of playing Dunk.
City have asked to be kept informed if he comes up for sale. Apparently Txiki sees him as the next Stones.
I think he looks significantly more superior of a player than stones did when playing for everton. Seems to a more complete and consistent player at a similar stage in their development. If we have sell him I hope it's not united as I have united friends and the obnoxious banter would be unrelenting also perplexing as united are unlikely to be the champions league next year

How much do City pay on wages?
As United pay a huge wad to their players and he may be enticed by a 'youth centric' rebuild as the press are alluding to.

He’s a completely different player than Stones tbh.

And us getting Maguire as part payment.
A lot of the wages are performance based, but I don't think we pay as much as the rags. Then again, currently we don't have to.
I'll be honest mate, I know very little about him. I'm just repeating what I read elsewhere.
Manchester City have revealed the price of last season's historic Treble after becoming the first club in British football history to spend more than £400 million ($498m) on annual wages.
The reigning Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup champions have reported record revenues on £712.8m -- an increase of £99.8m ($124m) on the previous year -- in the club's Annual Report for the 2022-23 season. City's profits increased to £80.4m from £41.7m the year prior.
City continue to contest 115 Premier League charges, covering a nine-year period from 2009, for breaching the league's financial fair play regulations.
The club's rocketing wage bill saw salary costs, including the annual £45m salary of striker Erling Haaland, jump £69m to an overall £422.9m last season, despite the club employing 56 fewer football staff than the previous year.
City added Haaland, Julián Álvarez and Kalvin Phillips to their squad in the 2022 summer transfer window and offloaded Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko. The club's salary costs were also increased by the payment of player bonuses following success in winning the three competitions last season.
In contrast to City's record high wage bill, neighbours Manchester United reported an annual wage bill of £331.4m last month -- £91.8m lower than the salary costs at the Etihad Stadium.
