Youngster urged to quit Etihad

CITY star James McAtee should be looking to leave the club in the January transfer window. That is the blunt verdict of former Arsenal forward and pundit Ian Wright, who feels the 22-year-old should be trying to establish himself as a 'top player' away from the Etihad Stadium. McAtee scored a hat-trick last weekend as he inspired the Blues to a 8-0 win over Salford City in the FA Cup third round. However, despite his heroics in the cup, he was relegated to the bench for Tuesday's 2-2 draw away at Brentford in the Premier League. The former Sheffield United loanee has been restricted to just 460 minutes of football across 12 appearances in all competitions this season.
