“I Turned Down City Because I’m A United Fan!”

Tiago Gomes is a product of the Benfica youth system who now plays for Romanian side FC Steaua Bucureşti. On loan at the first easter European club to ever win the European Cup, Gomes has confessed he had the opportunity to join Manchester City. However, he turned down to move because of his feelings for United, a club he dreams of one day playing for.

“I was a step away from going to the Premier League and joining Manchester City,” Gomes said. “But I have always been a big fan of Manchester United, a club I would love to play for at some point in my life. And I let my heart tell me I should join Steaua instead – a decision I don’t regret.”

    respect

  5. Mic says:

    Could really do with someone who loves the club like that.

    That’s why United are the biggest Club in the World, when Lads from far and wide love the Club and desperately want to play for us, dont sell themselves out to Crap like City!

    @ pet

    If you knew how to understand what you were reading, you wouldve understood that Gomes is not a Man Utd Player.

    I think you should read the article again.

    What a clown – how many players get to play for the club they support- even Giggs wasn’t that stupid in his early days to turn down a chance to play for City at youth level – still a clown belongs at a circus

  9. Red-Manc says:

    pistol, not a clown just a loyal fan.

    if city offerd me a 100,000 a week contract i’d still turn it down.

    this is how it feels to be city….

  10. mltezr says:

    RESPECT him for his loyalty and passion. but for his football career could turn out to be not a very good move. but still a very good lad

  11. Harun says:

    Legend! Sign him Fergie!

  12. in moscow we made it 3 says:

    HAHA! brilliant, if he plays well enough who knows he might be a united player one day. I dont see why people think it wasnt a good move for him, yes maybe domestically i would agree to that, but he gets to play in the champions league and city dont.
    And the comment about giggsy is a bit short sited, u think he really saw himself at city for the long term?
