Enzo Maresca is preparing for his first campaign as Manchester City boss (Picture: Getty Images) Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca says Jeremy Monga made the right choice in turning down Arsenal and moving to the Etihad from Leicester City instead. The 17-year-old has already got 37 first team appearances to his name for the Foxes, seven of which came in the Premier League. The winger was being pursued by both Arsenal and Manchester City this summer and revealed that he was very close to choosing north London as his next home. Speaking of interest from the Gunners in him, Monga told the BBC: ‘It was very strong because it was very close to me going there, very close.’ Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. On why he opted for Manchester City, he explained: ‘The main decision was probably the pathway and the club itself. ‘They’ve been so successful that it was a no-brainer when City call. It’s every child’s dream to win trophies and be at the top with the best. ‘Once I get the opportunity I just need to show myself, and once I do that, everything will take care of itself. I feel like, to me personally, I see myself at City more. I see myself in blue.’ Jeremy Monga had some very attractive options in front of him (Picture: REUTERS) City snapped up the teenager for £10m and he is hoping that the pathway is as clear as he believed it to be and he can make an impression on the first team this season. Monga has featured in pre-season, coming off the bench against a K-League XI last week, but was an unused substitute as City beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 on Sunday. Maresca feels the youngster made the right choice in choosing his summer move and feels Manchester City’s accumulation of silverware over the last 10 years makes them a more attractive prospect than their rivals. Monga appeared for Manchester City in Seoul last week (Picture: Getty Images) ‘Absolutely yes,’ he said of City being an extremely attractive proposition for young players. ‘What the club and this organisation has made in the last 10-15 years is unbelievable. ‘So it’s also for the young generation, for the young players, it’s a good reason why to join this club and I think Jeremy did the right choice.’ The new manager added of the teenager: ‘Jeremy is doing well. The important thing is they work without pressure. Just enjoy, work hard and then with spending days together, for sure they’re going to be better.’ England star Elliot Anderson has arrived at Manchester City (Picture: Getty Images) Monga will need some time to work his way into the first team, while another new signing, Elliot Anderson, is likely to go straight into the side after his big-money move from Nottingham Forest. Speaking of his new £116m midfielder, Maresca said: ‘When we make a decision it’s not just about how they are as a player – which is important – but we also look at the behaviour, the person, the human. ‘Elliot has all these kind of things. He’s a fantastic player, a very nice guy, humble, polite and it will be a pleasure for me to work with him.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Youri Tielemans has arrived at Manchester United from Aston Villa this summer (Picture: Getty Images) Harry Maguire has run the rule over Manchester United’s summer signings so far, tipping one in particular to be a ‘big player’ for the club this season. The Red Devils’ transfer business so far has seen Andrey Santos arrive from Chelsea, Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa and Karl Darlow from Leeds United. There are likely to be more arrivals before the transfer window closes, but Manchester United go into their penultimate friendly of the season with just the three new first team signings. Maguire has seen Santos and Tielemans in action in training and friendlies already and has liked what he has seen. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. He reckons the 22-year-old Brazilian has already made progress since joining the club, while he thinks 29-year-old Tielemans is primed to make a big impact instantly at Old Trafford after his £35m move. The centre-back played alongside the Belgian before leaving Leicester in 2019 and saw his quality up close even back then. ‘Andrey has been here since minute one of pre-season and he’s been amazing. You can really feel the progress he’s making already,’ Maguire told Manchester United club media. Andrey Santos was signed from Chelsea for £48m (Picture: Getty Images) ‘Youri, I played with him at Leicester for a few months so I know the ability and talent that he has. ‘He’s at an age now where he’s going to come in, I’m sure he’s not going to need settling in, he’s going to come in and be a big player for this club. He’s a top player, I know that.’ The England international also had praise for the character of Darlow, who is unlikely to play much football for Manchester United, but has come in to support first choice goalkeeper Senne Lammens. Tielemans was a shock arrival from Aston Villa this summer (Picture: Getty Images) The Wales international is out injured, but Maguire feels his presence is a positive one for the squad. ‘Karl is out for a little bit at the moment, but I know Karl, I’ve played against him numerous times over the years,’ he said. ‘He’s a great lad to have around the place, around the dressing room. ‘He can bring great leadership and value to the team on the pitch but also off the pitch as well.’ Harry Maguire with captain Bruno Fernandes after the draw with PSG (Picture: Getty Images) Manchester United’s pre-season preparations continue on Wednesday in Dublin against Leeds United, before a final friendly against AC Milan in Poland. Their Premier League campaign begins on August 22 against one of Maguire’s former clubs, Hull City. The defender has talked up an improvement on last season’s results, despite them being encouraging since Michael Carrick took charge in January. ‘There will be new ideas and different ways of playing. Last season, we played very well in certain matches, but we could have done better in others. We know that,’ he said. ‘The results and points were there, but we could have delivered better performances. We worked on it during the pre-season, and I think we’ll see better performances.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
