I Was Supposed To Join Manchester City In 2008 — Asamoah Gyan

Gyan struggled to find form during the tournament which was hosted by Ghana as he scored only one goal.

The 34-year-old marksman has disclosed that he was carrying an injury during the competition which saw Ghana finish third.

“I regret playing at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations because I was injured but I felt I needed to sacrifice but yet I was criticized [for my performance],” Gyan said on Goal.

“I really regret playing in the tournament because even after that I had to go out for five months.

“I was supposed to sign for Manchester City but I missed. That has been one of my biggest regrets with the National team.”
