# Man United dealt most unwelcome of transfer blows – Report

**The Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern are always eager to see their club bring in more players, no matter how well things are going.**

Indeed, our resident Red Devils never like missing out on good players, so reports from the Sun have seriously annoyed our punters.

They [claim](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4612507/manchester-city-manchester-united-jack-harrison-england-u21/) United are losing out to big rivals Manchester City in a [reported](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4612507/manchester-city-manchester-united-jack-harrison-england-u21/) pursuit of England U21 star, Jack Harrison. The winger has hit headlines over across the pond with his performances for New York City FC, earning a call-up to Aidy Boothroyd’s Young Lions.

City are [believed](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4612507/manchester-city-manchester-united-jack-harrison-england-u21/) to have first refusal on the player as the MLS side form part of City’s footballing group, much to the annoyance of our United-mad punters. Harrison actually came through the Red Devils’ academy, [reportedly](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4612507/manchester-city-manchester-united-jack-harrison-england-u21/) alongside the likes of Marcus Rashford, before moving over to the States when he was 14.

While he may not have much of a chance right now, the idea of City landing a young and English talent over them has seriously annoyed the Man United fans in our bar.

**Landlord’s Verdict:**

A young and English player tearing up another league is always likely to attract the interest of big clubs. The mere marketing possibilities around a player to have spent time in the MLS would be hugely exciting to top brass, though City’s footballing group look like being the lucky ones.
