Haaland Urges Manchester City to Stay Positive After Guilty Verdict

Erling Haaland said City must stay united and focus on winning as the club faces possible sanctions after the guilty verdict.

  • Erling Haaland returned to Manchester City training on Thursday, urging teammates and supporters to "stick together" following the club's guilty verdict on more than 100 Premier League financial breaches.
  • An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial regulations spanning 2009–2018. The club denies all charges, maintaining they possess a "comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence" and has lodged a formal appeal.
  • Manager Enzo Maresca arrived at training Thursday expressing "trust" in the club's ownership while focusing solely on footballing matters. Haaland added, "We have to stay positive, look ahead and try to win football games."
  • City travels to rival Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in their first match since the verdict, maintaining an unbeaten record with five Premier League wins. Observers anticipate a hostile reception from the home crowd.
