Disgusting state of old Trafford now

#ManCity are hopeful of agreeing a deal for Elliot Anderson - who favours a move to the Etihad over Manchester United - and want a deal before the World Cup having already held verbal talks with Nottingham Forest. Those at the City Ground believe Anderson is worth as much as the £105M Arsenal paid for Declan Rice, while @ManCity currently value him at £80M. [@JacobsBen/@alex_crook]

@ManCityWomen @ManCity @BarclaysWSL Well deserved.

2025/26 @BarclaysWSL Manager of the Season 🏆 Congratulations, Andrée 🩵

@City_Xtra @SPORTBILD @iMiaSanMia Trafford is gone then.

#ManCity are showing interest in Bayern Munich goalkeeper Alexander Nübel and have made initial contact with the player’s management. Bayern are demanding between €10M and €15M. [@SPORTBILD via @iMiaSanMia]

@premierleague @KendrixAzn @BarclaysFooty You've lost all your integrity.

Guiding Arsenal to their first Premier League title in 22 years 🔝 Mikel Arteta is your @barclaysfooty Manager of the Season 👏

So proud to be part of this🩵

I genuinely wanted both Kolo and Lijnders to stay but it is what it is. Kolo was one of the finest people we've had. He carried out his duties with immense diligence: 1. One‑on‑one tactical drills with players. 2. Boosting morale and motivation. 3. Offering counsel when needed. 4. Constantly showing up for academy fixtures. 5. Working seamlessly alongside Pep and Lijnders. A man of outstanding character during a transitional season. I won't say much more, I just genuinely want to thank him for what he's done and achieved with us in the one brilliant season he was here. Go well, Kolo. Wishing you absolutely nothing but the best. 🩵🙏

@Blue_Footy Omo see long talk.

I don't think Manchester City will dominate the Premier League any time soon after Pep. I think we are back to the era of anyone can win. In my opinion, Pep made a mistake of dumping what had served him well. He panicked, switched it up and never recovered. The moment he shifted from technical, hard working footballers he used sign to dominate possession, press high and create a lot of chances, to less technical physical bullies, he lost it. He used to dominate physical teams with xavi, Iniesta, Aguero, Silva, Villa, Pedro, Messi, etc, small technical players but they pressed so intense out of possession. Old Pep bought and sold Ibrahimovic. He wouldn't have worked with Haaland. He made that change to sacrifice high pressing for the goals. Old Pep wouldn't sign Donnarumma and weakened his buildup or Semenyo just to add goals from the winger, despite not technically built for small space possession football. He completely lost his DNA. I wouldn't say he ran out of ideas and started doing things he normally wouldn't do. I think he felt Arsenal as a physical force and tried to match them. He started making these changes as Arsenal started gathering momentum. But he's not good at dark, ugly, physical football. Even if he keeps trying to go the Arteta route, he will keep finding it hard. He needed to go back to what he's good at, which is building a team like PSG. Unfortunately, it's over but it's good for the Premier League. It's a wide open league again. Teams are beginning to figure out Arsenal’s corner-kick routines, so I wouldn't say they will dominate the league. It's anybody's league next season. If Chelsea do the right things, they could take advantage. It won't be that difficult to win the Premier League next season. It could be a 75-80 points League.

@mufcMPB He's coming here, united left the chat.

🚨 Manchester City are leading the race to sign Elliot Anderson, with the player leaning towards a move to City instead of Manchester United. United are unwilling to overpay, or get drawn into protracted negotiations. Nottingham Forest and City are far apart on their valuation for him, meaning the situation could still change. #MUFC [BBC]

@ItsClearSnow @TheHighburyLad @MarcGuehi13 Did he make us draw against Bournemouth?

@SmartzMCFC @TheHighburyLad @MarcGuehi13 hes right he made arsenal win the league

Thank you for the incredible support these last few months, I’m so proud to be a part of this club. To John, Bernardo & Pep thank you. Even in this short amount of time I’ve learnt from some of the best to do it, incredible humans and wishing you all the best in your next chapter. Have a good summer Citizens and I’ll see you all in August. GIG. 🙏🏿🩵

@IsYoursGold14 @Snownelli @ManCity A True invisible won't celebrate a goal against you twice 😂😂😂

@SmartzMCFC @Snownelli @ManCity He’s an invincible and a true Gunner. At your small club, he’s just cashing in. His family has to eat! Semenyo is also a self confessed Gooner working at ManCity. You’re a small club. If you dispute, name me 5 global celebrity ManCity fans, I will triple the names - Arsenal fans.

🎶 Kolo Toure 🎶

Thank you for the trust, support and memories. We fought together till the end. Thank you @PepTeam for changing football and changing us as players and people. And to my brothers John Stones and Bernardo Silva - legends forever. Once City, always City. 🩵

@ManCity End of an era. I'm going to miss all.

We can confirm the departures of Pep Lijnders, Kolo Toure, Lorenzo Buenaventura, Manel Estiarte and Xabi Mancisidor following the completion of the 2025/26 season. Everyone at City would like to thank all five members of staff for their hard work and dedication and wish them the very best of luck in the future 🩵 🔗 mancity.co/backroomstaff
