Manchester City owners face scrutiny over Andy Burnham's meetings

Liberal Democrats are calling on Prime Minister Andy Burnham to reveal all meetings with Manchester City's owners, the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), and declare any hospitality he has accepted at the Etihad Stadium, according to The Guardian Football.

The Liberal Democrats' spokesperson for culture, media and sport, Anna Sabine, told The Guardian that Burnham's ties to ADUG should be scrutinised. Sabine is planning to write to Downing Street and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) to demand details of their meetings. Burnham has been pictured attending Manchester City games at the Etihad Stadium in hospitality areas, but the extent of that hospitality is unclear. Burnham has not been to a City game since he became prime minister but has attended two Everton matches at Goodison Park, where he was accommodated in the directors' box despite having a season ticket in the South Stand. The prime minister was widely criticised for saying he would be "really concerned" if ADUG were forced to sell City after being found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial regulations.
