"This is a fantastic move for me," Ortega said. "Manchester City are an amazing team - a squad with world-class quality in every area." Ortega will be the second choice to Ederson, with backup goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who made a costly error in City's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Liverpool in April, linked with a move away from the club.
