Cherki was a standout in the tie and has now joined rivals Man City for a reported fee of just over £30 million.
The attacking midfielder now has his eye on revenge, vowing to ‘kill’ Man United when he finally faces them in a Man City shirt.
Following a training session with his new team-mates in the USA, Cherki said: "I didn’t like it when Manchester United won the game against Lyon because I am a Lyonnais. Now I am waiting for the game (to) kill them. I just (wanted) to go to Manchester City."
