Manchester City academy graduate James McAtee sparked controversy after refusing to give his shirt to a fan wearing a Sheffield Wednesday jersey following the club's Champions League victory.
Fans have been left divided after a Manchester City star decided against giving away his shirt following the 3-1 Champions League win over Club Brugge. The incident occurred after the game when a viral video showed the player, James McAtee, refusing to give his shirt to a fan. McAtee, who recently scored a hat-trick against Salford City in the FA Cup, was an unused substitute for the win over Brugge and was filmed leaving the stadium in his car.
The City academy graduate had his sky blue home shirt in his hand and appeared to point out a fan to receive it, with a steward set to hand over the jersey. However, after a voice of what appeared to be a child's mother had said 'Thank you', McAtee quickly spotted something. He proceeded to pull the shirt away and could be heard saying, 'Oh no he's got a Sheff Wednesday top on, I hate Sheff Wednesday!'. McAtee has strong links to Wednesday's rivals Sheffield United after spending two seasons on loan at Bramall Lane. His decision not to give the shirt to the supporter was met with split opinions on social media. One fan on X said: 'The way that kid will never forget that & will hate him wherever he goes.' However, another disagreed and wrote: 'The beautiful game hasn’t died i’m so proud.' After returning from a second loan at Sheffield United, McAtee has scored five goals in 14 games for City this season and the club recently turned down a loan with an option to buy offer from Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
