Samir Nasri chose Man City over Man Utd

Man City's newest addition to their squad Samir Nasri has revealed that Manchester United was never his preferred destination after deciding to leave Arsenal.

"I did not see myself leaving England. The question arose of whether to go to United or City," said Nasri.

"But I prefer to make history with a club, rather than be just one player among the rest. I spoke with Patrick Vieira at City — they are the club of the future.

"My transfer has been a real saga. It's a huge relief to have finally signed and I am very happy."
