Pep Guardiola gets ruthless! Man Utd target Man City star tipped to have played his last game after Club World Cup omission

FIFA Club World Cup

Manchester City

Wydad Casablanca

<p>Daily Mail journalist <a href="https://x.com/Jack_Gaughan/status/1928421719229792610" target="_blank">Jack Gaughan</a> says the 22-year-old is not going to the Club World Cup with City and that 'probably signals the end of his time' with the club. This comes at a time when he has been <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35213758/james-mcatee-man-utd-transfer-man-city-squad-axe/" target="_blank">linked with rivals United</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>McAtee has been at City since 2013, alongside two loan spells at Sheffield United. The England Under-21 international has shown promise at the Etihad but it seems Pep Guardiola's side may try and cash in on the academy product this summer, rather than losing him for free when his contract expires in 2026.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>McAtee, who has been linked with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/morgan-gibbs-white--man-city-james-mcatee-nottingham-forest-pep-guardiola/bltd9387b4dbb21bbd5" target="_blank">Nottingham Forest</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-star-james-mcatee-wolves-gbp25m-midfielder-face-intense-competition-bayer-leverkusen-borussia-dortmund-premier-league-clubs/bltaec1c374084493d7" target="_blank">Wolves</a>, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-lose-another-young-star-cole-palmer-bayer-leverkusen-eye-move-man-city-midfielder/bltd645f3653b2bc453" target="_blank">Bayer Leverkusen</a> this season, scored three goals in 15 Premier League appearances for City this season - highlighting how much of a fringe player he is there. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While City prepare for the Club World Cup later this month in the United States, McAtee will once again represent his country at youth level as they prepare to defend their Euro Under-21 Championships title.</p>
