This post led to Bournemouth striker Joshua King commenting.
The two spent their early careers in Manchester, Boyata with City from 2009-15 and King with United from 2009-13.
Both were young players at the time, at big clubs, in a fantastic city and with newly found wealth, so it is no wonder that, despite playing for rival clubs, they became close with one another.
In their time at both City and United they made 13 league appearances between them, and they were all Boyata’s.
Several loan-moves for both happened before King made the move to Blackburn in 2013 and then Bournemouth in 2015.
King, now 27-years-old, has had a superb time at Bournemouth, scoring 44 goals in 143 games.
He has finally converted his natural talent into goals for The Cherries and has now cemented himself as a solid Premier League striker.
Boyata, on the other hand, joined The Bhoys in 2015 for £1.5m and has gone on to make 135 appearances and contributed with a handy 15 goals.
During his time in Glasgow he has won nine trophies and established himself as one of the best defenders in the SPFL.
Contract negotiations, however, fell through last season and the 28-year-old has decided to move to Berlin.
Boyata, though, picked up one last SPFL Title and, on Saturday, he has the chance of picking up the Scottish Cup once again.
