He made six league appearances of which two were match starts and scored once against Rotherham.[1] He also appeared for Manchester City in the UEFA Cup scoring against The New Saints F.C.[2] Negouai proved to be a versatile success for Manchester City Reserves in the Premier Reserve League, scoring nine goals in 19 games after being converted to a centre forward from a defensive midfielder[3] although his time at Manchester City was hampered by a serious injury which required operations on both knees restricting his appearances.[4] According to Duncan Alexander, as of January 2019 he remains the only player to be sent off on their one and only Premier League appearance.[5]
Upon joining Standard Liège, Negouai scored the fastest goal in Belgian League history when he struck after just 11 seconds in a 2-0 win over KVC Westerlo.[6]
