Yeah he could, I never denied that. But as a youngster would you prefer to develop at a club like United that have pedigree when nurturing young talents, or go to City (as some reports suggest) who have a reputation of signing young players, giving them huge sums and then let them rot on the bench?
The comparisons to Pogba, I'd currently place Pogba as the exception, not the rule.
Between us and City it's an obvious choice, their record with youth playeds has been pretty terrible. When teams lkke Juventus or Barcelona, both renowned for giving young players plenty of game time as well as top level training and access to modern facilities, come into frame it suddenly doesn't look that obvious though and this is the point here. He might leave for a club that's as well equipped towards turning him into a star as we are, in pursuit of better contract to an extent.
