Thackray, a Leeds season ticket holder who grew close to Phillips and his tight-knit family, does not begrudge the boyhood Whites fan a move across the Pennines.
A £45million switch is set to be completed and Thackray thinks Phillips, 26, will add a new dimension to Pep Guardiola’s side – possibly alongside Rodri.
