"I think everyone thought that was a done deal [to Manchester City],” former Reds managing director Purslow told Sky Sports . "It has the look from the outside, I don't know this to be true, that Arsenal out of nowhere had their dreams come true. I bet they were very angry about that and I suspect they thought actually let's walk away from this deal leaving Manchester United to sweep him up. "Brilliant outcome for United, pretty good outcome for Arsenal on balance but I suspect not a very happy camp at City around the way that deal was conducted."
