Man Utd: Michael Owen reveals ‘mentality’ of Ferguson’s side
Barcelona star Lionel Messi would probably prefer a move to Manchester City over their rivals Manchester United if he were to ever leave the Catalan club, according to talkSPORT pundit Danny Mills.
Messi has had somewhat of a public falling out with Barca chief Eric Abidal, who accused players of not trying their hardest under ex-boss Ernesto Valverde.
Messi hit back by asking Abidal to ‘give names’ as urged Barca chiefs to take responsibility for their actions.
It was then reported that Messi had a spat with a team-mate in training.

The saga has fuelled rumours that Messi could leave the club in the summer, with Manchester City the most likely of his potential destinations.
Mills has doubled down on that theory, suggesting that Messi would not want to play for United instead.
“Manchester City is the only club he could go to,” he told talkSPORT.
