Manchester City send Garcia on loan to Alves

Alaves have announced the signing of Manchester City youngster Manu Garcia on a season-long loan. The 18-year-old joined City from Sporting Gijon in 2013, but has made just one Premier League appearance, coming on as a substitute in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa in March. Alaves, who won promotion back to Spain’s top flight last season by winning LaLiga2, begin their campaign away to Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
