Manchester City should not be scared of summer exits even if their UCL ban is upheld because their rivals, Manchester United still kept players like David de Gea and Paul Pogba with no UCL football, Shaun Wright-Phillips has said.
Contrary to speculations that there might be a mass exit of players if the decision stands, Phillips believes no one will leave the club at the end of the season.
According to him, he feels City is confident that the ban will be overturned but even if that is not the case, there will be no cause to panic about players wanting to leave the club.
He added that Pep winning the EFL after beating Real Madrid in their stadium would be a remarkable achievement.
His words, “If it does stand, which I don’t think it will and I feel they are confident it will get overturned, it is the same as any other club.
“Man United have not been in the Champions League for a few years and they have still kept De Gea, players like Pogba, and Manchester City will be able to do the same.”
On the EFL, “I feel like the way Pep manages he wants to win every game and he has a squad depth to be able to do that.
“It would be a great achievement, from the 1980s I think the only other team to do it are Liverpool so to equal that will be a tremendous success.
“Coming off a massive result like that, winning 2-1 at the Bernabeu [against Real Madrid in the Champions League], coming from behind shows the character that is built and instilled in the team.
“I feel they will be ready and pumped to win more silverware.”
