Kelechi Iheanacho has left Manchester City, completing a £25m move to Leicester City on Thursday.
The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to the King Power throughout the summer, and has signed a five-year-deal with the club.
A year ago, the idea of the Nigerian international making a permanent move away from the Etihad would have seemed unlikely given the bright start he made to his career at Eastlands. With Manchester United's Marcus Rashford breaking into the first team squad at a similar time, comparisons were made between the two young strikers.
Hearing the confirmation of Iheanacho's transfer, many United fans have been happy to remind City supporters of their claims that the Nigerian was better than Rashford.
With Rashford featuring regularly during Jose Mourinho's first season at Old Trafford, United supporters have also been quick to point out that Pep Guardiola - who many believed was the perfect manager to help nurture and develop Iheanacho's talent - has decided to part with one of the club's best young players.
