A major rift has emerged between Premier League clubs as a selection of rivals push for a fresh investigation into Manchester City’s financial affairs. Despite the Etihad giants already facing the fallout of 114 guilty verdict, there is a growing appetite to scrutinise the club’s books for the period following 2018.
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden believes he is finally rediscovering his best form after a difficult period cost him a place at the 2026 World Cup. The 26-year-old has bounced back from an early-season suspension with a string of impressive goalscoring performances.
Enzo Maresca has warned Manchester City that they cannot continue to rely solely on Erling Haaland to score their goals this season. The manager issued the clear instruction to his squad after they surrendered top spot in the Premier League following a frustrating weekend defeat against Brighton.
Manchester United are reportedly considering a sensational mid-season move for Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri as they look to address a glaring lack of depth in their defensive ranks. The Algerian international has found regular minutes hard to come by under both Pep Guardiola and Enzo Maresca at the Etihad Stadium, potentially paving the way for a rare direct transfer between the two local rivals.
RB Leipzig's rising star Antonio Nusa has admitted he plans to get inside Erling Haaland’s head before their high-stakes Champions League meeting. The Norwegian winger, who has flourished in the Bundesliga this term, is looking to disrupt his international teammate's rhythm through a pre-match text message.
