Ah! Touche indeed good sir. I remember Li Tie – part of that Everton team that had the Mitchell Brothers of Lee Carsley and Thomas Gravesen bossing it in midfield, ha.

Despite Xi being a Man U fan (ha) the visit to Man City was because Sun Jihai, a former City player (before they got bought out/when they flirted with relegation each season), was the first Chinese footballer to play in the Premier League and is the China ambassador for the club. He was also inducted into some Football Hall of Fame in time with Xi’s visit… hm.
