Negouai was bought for £1.5 million by Manchester City from Charleroi in 2001. He made six league appearances of which two were match starts and scored once against Rotherham. He also appeared for Manchester City in the UEFA Cup scoring against The New Saints F.C. 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 although his time at Manchester City was hampered by a serious injury which required operations on both knees restricting his appearances.
Upon joining Standard Liege Negouai scored the fastest goal in Belgian League history when he struck after just 11 seconds in a 2-0 win over KVC Westerlo.
