‘Kyle Walker ruins Man City legacy’ – Fans explode at new AC Milan comments
Man City fans have reacted online to former captain Kyle Walker’s first press conference as an AC Milan player.
Walker, who recently joined the Italian giants on a short-term loan with an option to buy, requested to leave Pep Guardiola’s side earlier this month.
When Guardiola revealed the situation, it sparked anger among City supporters who branded him a disgrace, especially given the club’s struggles this season.
The situation escalated further after Walker’s comments during his unveiling in Milan and his first press conference.
He said: “Things at Manchester City wasn’t going too well. I wasn’t playing enough football as I wanted to do. So, a reason for me wanting to play football and play for this great club was to hopefully play a little bit more football than I was doing there and I want to win things” [Sky Sports via X].
Man City fans are angered by Kyle Walker and his comments
Walker’s recent move to AC Milan, coupled with his comments about City, has sparked anger among the club’s supporters.
The 34-year-old defender, who played 18 times this season and made a remarkable 319 appearances for City during his tenure, surprised fans with his sudden decision to leave.
Many questioned the timing of his departure, particularly during a challenging season for the defending champions.
Walker was omitted from City’s matchday squads for the past four games before the deal with Milan was finalised [acmilan.com]. Although his exit has caused controversy, several of his former teammates, including Jack Grealish, publicly bid him farewell.
However, it’s Walker’s recent comments during his Milan unveiling that have angered fans further.
Supporters have been vocal online, with one stating they’ve never seen a player “tarnish their legacy as quickly as Kyle”. Another called him the “worst captain ever” for his handling of the exit and the statements that followed.
