Ex-Cardiff junior Rabbi Matondo happy he chose Man City

Manchester City are delighted with what they've seen from Rabbi Matondo.

The teenager had several offers to further his career before plumping for City. His displays for Cardiff schools and in the club's academy were regularly scouted, with Manchester United among the clubs interested.

The teenage attacker told the Manchester Evening News: "I was so close to moving [to City] at one stage but then it didn't end up happening but my parents wanted me to come to City because they had been after me and haven't given up on me.

"The other clubs were just giving up when Cardiff said no but City gave Cardiff another offer and obviously when I came to visit here, we knew it was the right place to come."
