The Nigerian International and now former Manchester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho has been officially sold by his former club, Manchester City and and for no reason Manchester United fans are trolling the Sky Blues to the heavens about it.
The 20-year-old Super Eagles striker has been regarded as one of European football’s brightest young talents after breaking into the City team under Mauricio Pellegrini, and looked like he had the capability of being the long-term replacement for Sergio Aguero.

But, perhaps surprisingly, Iheanacho has been sold by Pep Guardiola this summer, with Leicester City the lucky recipients, in a deal thought to be worth £25 million.
Apparently, City have a buy-back clause inserted into the deal, but what happened to investing and developing in youth? And what happened to him being better than Rashford?
Considering the stick Jose Mourinho sometimes takes in his youth policy, United supporters are loving this opportunity to have a little dig at Pep and ‘Citeh’:
How's that Iheanacho's better than Rashford chat working out then Citeh fans…? Hmm 🙊

I thought Iheanacho was the next big thing? Sure some blues were saying he's better than Rashford last year? 😂

So Pep Guardiola sells very highly-rated youngster Kelechi Iheanacho, who will be fantastic at Leicester. Promoter of youth? Funny that.

Remember when people said Iheanacho would shine under Pep and Rashford would suffer under Jose. https://t.co/iVeJfzmNoZ

Those wh said Iheanacho was going to flourish under Pep and Rashford would flop under Mou. Where are they hiding?

Look at City fans claiming Iheanacho is still better than Rashford when they've literally sold him to Leicester.
