Vieira: Man City failure if Karim Rekik doesn't make it

Manchester City chief Patrick Vieira expects young Dutchman Karim Rekik to make it in England.

Rekik, 17, moved to City last year from Feyenoord.

"Karim has a natural talent and calm temperament as a central defender," Vieira told De Telegraaf. "This guy has so much talent. If he does not make it, it will really be a failure for us.

"Thus we put ourselves under pressure, but Karim knows he has a responsibility to reach the top."
