Diego Forlan: Manchester United are reaching Man City level legend claims
Ex-Manchester United star Diego Forlan believes Manchester United can reach the current level of Manchester City.
He told reporters after the game as reported by Daily Mail, “The opinion I had when he arrived is he wanted to leave, but now I don't know what's going to happen.
“I don't think a loan is going to happen. He's going to stay or going to sell, but I think a loan is not going to happen. I understand he wants to be more active than the previous season.
“But Riyad [Mahrez] has gone so we have one more place there. I cannot say anything because, of course, all the decisions need to be made by the club. The club has to decide what the best is. All together, we will do it.”
