Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the premier league champions are growing ‘increasingly uneasy’ over interest in James McAtee.
The 19-year-old, who is being compared to a young version of club legend David Silva, has starred for City’s youth academy side so far this campaign.
The teenager made his senior debut in the third round of the EFL Cup last month, coming on as a substitute in City’s 6-1 victory at home against Wycombe Wanderers.
McAtee is considered by Man City as one of their brightest prospects within their academy and they hope in the near future that he can emulate Phil Foden by cementing a regular place in their starting lineup.
However, McAtee’s future is in some doubt as both Manchester United and Liverpool are apparently keen on him as he approaches the final 18 months of his contract, according to the Sun.
The report claims Man City are growing ‘increasingly uneasy’ over interest in James McAtee – who is still yet to sign a long-term contract offer.
Despite having 18 months left on his current terms, Pep Guardiola’s side wanted to tie him down to a long-term deal, on around £8,000 a week.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.
If we lose him, we will regret it.
