The Premier League leaders were beaten to a sought-after signature by arch-rivals United, but they are considered to be in good shape heading forward
Manchester City “didn’t need” Alexis Sanchez, says Noel Gallagher, although he concedes the Chilean is “brilliant” and will improve arch-rivals United.
An expected arrival at the Etihad Stadium never materialised for the Chilean forward, with a lucrative offer from Old Trafford luring him away from Arsenal and onto the Red Devils’ books.
City could have been forgiven for feeling aggrieved at seeing a top target snatched from under their nose, but they already boast a star-studded squad which is hardly short on creativity and goal threat.
