This summer, Kieran McKenna was linked with Manchester United, Chelsea and other Premier League giants.
The former assistant coach at Manchester United had then led Ipswich to their second direct promotion, this time to the Premier League. McKenna chose to commit to continuing with Ipswich, now he will show that his football with an underdog brings success even in the world’s toughest league.
The Manchester City management also clearly have faith in McKenna, now the £45 million investment Kalvin Phillips is sending to McKenna.
You know the story after Phillips came to Manchester City. Guardiola admits he has no room for the type of player Phillips, on loan at West Ham last season there was no match either. The 28-year-old has been linked to a bunch of clubs, also outside the ball island, but now The Telegraph reports that the trip goes to Ipswich.
