Utrecht technical director Jordy Zuidam told the club’s website, “We wave goodbye to Mikki with mixed feelings.

We would of course have liked to see Mikki shine in Stadium Galgenwaard, which is what we train for.
“On the other hand, Mikki said that he really wanted to make this move and we see his transfer to Manchester City as a compliment to our youth academy. This transition is confirmation of the increased level of the Academy. We have with Manchester City agreement has been reached on the transfer conditions and with that all parties are satisfied. We wish Mikki every success in England.”
