Manchester City have completed the £116 million signing of England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. The 23-year-old immediately taunted rivals Manchester United, stating that City have been the 'kings of Manchester' for the last decade and that he chose them because they are winners and relentless. Anderson, who helped England reach a World Cup semi-final, snubbed a move to United. He expressed admiration for former City star Kevin De Bruyne and excitement about working under new manager Enzo Maresca. The transfer echoes City's 2009 'Welcome To Manchester' poster taunt of United with Carlos Tevez.
