The paper made the error on Tuesday and City quickly confirmed that no such request had been received from the talented teenager.

City boss Stuart Pearce also set the record straight after the friendly at Wrexham on Wednesday, which was drawn 3-3, and today the Mirror issued an apology for the inaccurate story.

A City spokesman said: "We are glad that the newspaper has corrected the error, and the matter is now closed."
