The Sun newspaper has today issued the following apology in relation to an article written earlier this summer. The Club will donate all damages awarded in this matter to the Manchester New Children’s Hospital appeal.
MANCHESTER CITY FC AND SHEIKH MANSOUR

A report on 16 July stated that Sheikh Mansour, owner of Manchester City FC, had given a number of players watches worth £168,000 when he met them at a reception in Abu Dhabi.

We now understand that the report was incorrect. No such gifts were made and Sheikh Mansour was not present. We are happy to set the record straight and apologise for any embarrassment caused.

The Sun will continue to make shit up because it sells papers. How many people read the watches story? Thousands. How many people will even notice this apology, assuming as per usual it's in small print hidden away in the paper? Virtually no-one.

sadly this is spot on
