Claudio Reyna is sitting in a large leather armchair in the George Steinbrenner III suite at Yankee Stadium. It is one of the more unlikely places the journey of the City Football Group has taken him in recent years.
In 2012, when Ferran Soriano was recruited to be chief executive officer of Manchester City, he called the staff together. He told them that this was a club that would have to do things differently. They could try to be Manchester United, they could hire a great coach, buy great players, win trophies, but that was never going to get them ahead.
