According to Daily Mirror, the former Liverpool man said, "I shouldn't really say this - not now, definitely not now! - but when I was young I was a massive United fan. I had an old United kit, from when they won the last FA Cup. I was at the final in 2007."

He further added, "If two or three of the kids could be inspired, then that's all I was trying to do. Purely, that's how I felt at the time. If there was a kid who had a chance of being a footballer, hopefully, that will give them motivation or inspiration to change their dreams."

Manchester City crashed out of the UEFA Champions League after losing to Tottenham in the quarter-finals, but wrapped up the League Cup, and Premier League. The latter was won at the expense of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, in what turned out to be an epic title race.
