We Are Coming To Make Manchester Blue –Celta Vigo Striker John Guidetti

Celta Vigo striker John Guidetti aims to keep the city blue as his side Celta Vigo prepare to take on Manchester United in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday. Guidetti joined Man City in 2008 as a 16-year-old but struggled to break into the first team during his six years spent at the club.

Loans away from the Etihad brought better success for the Sweden international, who enjoyed a successful spell with Feyenoord in 2011-12 where he scored 20 goals from 23 appearances.

He said “I played in England and lived in Manchester for six years, so I follow both of the teams there. United are a very good team. Obviously they've got a good manager, a fantastic stadium, and they're one of the favourites to win the Europa League but, as they say 'Manchester is blue' and that's how it will be when we visit there as well, because we are Celta Vigo and we will try to keep the city blue, we believed from the start that we could get to the final. I think we've showed it in the way we play - we've never given up.”
