Funding from Sheikh Mansour’s private fortune was reportedly kept off City’s books

And now, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich want to see the club punished for their alleged actions.According to The Sun, Europe’s giants are hoping to receive backing from Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward to get City kicked out of the Champions League.Over the last week, Der Spiegel has published a series of allegations based on information obtained from Football Leaks that have painted a very different picture of the club than the one displayed on the pitch. According to the German magazine, City have spent much of the last decade trying to get around European football’s Financial Fair Play rules with inflated sponsorship deals, an elaborate image rights scam and hidden contracts.One of those sponsorship deals was struck with Arabtec, the largest construction company in the United Arab Emirates but a firm that has been repeatedly criticised by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch for its poor treatment of migrant workers.Der Spiegel claims City bosses ignored warnings from its own public relations experts about reputational damage and increased scrutiny to sign a three-year, regional sponsorship agreement – worth 7million a year – with Arabtec in 2014.

He desperately needs a season like Ryan Kent or Harry Wilson have managed. Kent won the Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year award but at 22, his time has likely passed for Liverpool. Wilson's 17 goals this season for Derby County may have earned him a shot at Liverpool - and that's the standard Woodburn needs to hit at the very least.
