Manchester United academy coach Colin Little has revealed that Cole Palmer came ‘close’ to leaving Manchester City for Old Trafford as a teenager.

Case in point, according to reports today, both Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke are now back in training, following in the footsteps of Nicolas Jackson, who was spotted back earlier this week. That’s three of our most important attacking players, if you’re counting, without whom our attacking output has suffered greatly in the last few weeks.
