England media: President Xi Jinping dreams of visiting Man Utd Man City give him a “transfer”

China’s president Xi Jinping is about to visit England and seeing Man City FC is on his schedule. The media in England report that President Xi himself prefers to see Man Utd, but England arranges him to visit Etihad Campus of Man City in advance.

 

Daily Mirror claims President Xi, as a soccer fan, dreams of going to Old Trafford, which won’t come true this time, because the city hall in Manchester offers him a “transfer” to Man City FC.

The Sun On Sunday reveals Sir Richard Rees, head of the city hall in Manchester, is a Man City fan and he directs this itinerary. Howard Bernstein, executive officer of the city hall in Manchester, supports this arrangement and he is also a Man City fan.

Source of Daily Mirror says the Man City fans in the top management of the city hall are clear that the visit of President Xi will bring huge attention and influences, so they want to keep the “benefits” for Man City, instead of the enemy Man Utd. The source claims “Let‘s hope he’s not too disappointed after flying 7，000 miles that the nearest he will get to the Theatre of Dreams is the home of the enemy.”
