I wonder how many journalists will be quoting these?

Why should they be, unless these global partners are directly linked to the atrocities happening in their respective countries ? Our owners are more closer to the ruling family in UAE and probably why there is more coverage, although I believe it shouldn't be used as a stick to beat us with.

It’s an easy point scoring shot with little research on their behalf. Do they dig into workers conditions in those companies? Nope and don’t expect them to,except maybe David Conn. They are quick to bring the human rights aspects up but slow to point out economic benefits to East Manchester.
It’s the same lazy journalism that says our defence always gives teams a chance whilst Utd(last year)were fantastic defensively. Actually we conceded less shots.
 
I see Lukaku is talking about wanting to move to Italy. Whatever else goes on, their inability to get their players to keep their mouths shut is quite entertaining.

That's really daft. They Emirati royal family is huge. The fact that a Royal happens to own Manchester City doesn't mean that Sheikh Mansour himself is responsible for some of the unpleasant situations that members of the Royal family have created.
 
Let bygones be bygones, but consider the carnage that has been done throughout the world in King/Queen and country's name.
Human rights is a serious issue but in the context of oneupmanship between football fans, it is lost in badly researched and ill conceived arguments, just to have something to feel morally superior about.

United sponsors Aeroflot and Emirates NBD are majority state owned (in the case of ENDB it's Dubai, not UAE, government owned). Saudi Telecom Co is 70% owned by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. Another 13.69% is owned by Saudi government social security organisations. So if City are being beaten with a stick for the Abu Dhabi connection so should the rags for taking millions from these organisations.

Any rag who bleats on about City receiving 'oil money' should have Gulf Oil (official global lubricant partner ffs), Commercial Bank of Qatar, Emirates NBD and Saudi Telecom Co thrown back at them.

It’s quite the thing. Sky, on their Insta page, have a graphic of him in his rag kit, which then sprinkles out into a Juve kit. Then his quotes appear above the picture. What a fucking idiot he is if he’s said all that. Imagine Aguero openly saying he’s looking in with admiration at Juve’s project and ‘why not?’ when asked if he’d like to go?
Good on Sky for mocking the prick too.
 
Lukaku and Hazard have both been publicly courting other teams whilst Sterling has stayed very quiet...Says everything really
 
When they make De Gea their highest paid player, as reported, how does that sit with their ego driven cnuts like Sanchez, Pogba etc ?

Sorry mate but if they are associated with utd, they are now officially lily-white.

They’ve had many years to use most of them, but haven’t.

As pointed out by another poster - glass houses.

In a similar vein:
Many united fans still spout the line that all our sponsors are UAE related, yet a quick perusal of our OS would prove otherwise.

As I said in another post, included in our sponsors are those famously Abu Dhabi companies Nissan, SAP and Nexen.
