Manchester City youngsters could join New York City on loan

Manchester City are ready to loan more players to sister club New York City FC after Patrick Vieira took charge of the Major League Soccer side.

Vieira will be fully aware of the emerging talent at City's state-of-the-art Etihad Campus after coaching their Elite Development Squad (EDS) before leaving for his new role in New York in November.

And that could see some of City's highly-rated youngsters follow him on loan to the United States as New York City bid to improve on their eighth-placed finish in MLS's Eastern Conference in their debut season.

English defender Shay Facey spent last season on loan at New York City from the Premier League club, making 23 appearances, and was joined two months later by highly-regarded Spanish full-back Angelino.
