Manchester City shows interest in 17-year-old American left-back Christian McFarlane, who is yet to debut in MLS.

McFarlane, of English origin, is developing his game at NYCFC's academy and second team, displaying key attributes for his position.

Top European clubs, including Bayern and Dortmund, are monitoring McFarlane's progress.

The player has the option to represent England, the USA, or Jamaica internationally, adding to his appeal.

Manchester City views McFarlane as a solution to their lack of depth at left-back, with a potential transfer pending his 18th birthday.

McFarlane's trajectory is likened to Joe Scally's successful move from NYCFC to European football.
