As someone who has lived in U.A.E I could probably lend some perspective.
U.A.E for a long time has been diversifying its revenue sources and preparing for life beyond oil. UAE by the way is a federation of 7 emirates of which Dubai and Abu Dhabi are 2 emirates. Abu Dhabi has the most oil and therefore is the richest and infact bailed Dubai out recently. Interesting tidbit , Emirates belongs to Dubai while Etihad belongs to Abu Dhabi. Both have invested millions into infrastructure,properties,assets etc. to create UAE as a tourist destination and global hub for business. All of this largely banks on good PR worldwide which is where strategic investments such as MCFC , Real Madrid investment etc. come in. Creating goodwill regarding U.A.E is as important as actually building a paradise to attract. Qatar has recently adopted a similar blueprint ( hence PSG, Carnegie Mellon extension unis etc. ) . People tend to have a reserved opinion over middle east countries because the goverments are still benevolent dictatorships and human rights/freedom of speech usually borders on the gray. You're fine until you say something that might harm the reputation of the leaders or city. One need not look furthur than Qatar construction worker's human rights issue which is prevalent across Gulf. Do you really believe that upliftment of Manchester is priority #1 for anyone ? Emirates/Etihad sponsor cricket,football,horse racing etc. The idea behind is to ensure a positive sentiment and outlook towards Dubai/Abu Dhabi. Investing/Supporting Real Madrid is pure business for it is a top 2 club in the world and outreach potential is massive. They are playing a far bigger high stakes game in which MCFC is just a strategic asset.

wonder if this is perhaps being used to then justify multiple deals being handed to City as well, with Real being the mitigating factor...Not that that's the reason for the deal...

Real Madrid strike £350m deal to renovate Bernabeu... and it'll be paid for by Manchester City owner Sheik Mansour!
Real Madrid have agreed deal to update their Bernabeu stadium
Work will cost £350m over three years to complete
Real have vast debts and can not afford to pay for renovation themselves
International Petroleum Investment Company will fund the project
Company is headed by Manchester City owner Sheik Mansour
But deal will not infringe UEFA rules on club ownership
Manchester City’s billionaire owner will help fund the redevelopment of Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium after a company he heads struck a £350million investment deal with the European champions.
Sheikh Mansour is chairman of International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), which uses Abu Dhabi’s wealth to fund projects around the world. Those now include the renovation of the iconic ground over the next three years after the confirmation of a ‘long-term strategic partnership’ with Real.
But Sheik Mansour’s role will not infringe on UEFA’s rules over club ownership because the deal does not mean the Abu Dhabi royal family will hold a stake in Real. Instead, in return for the cash Real will promote the emirate globally.
IPIC is proud to join forces with Real Madrid, the world’s top football club and sporting brand,’ said managing director, Khadem Al Qubaisi. He added that IPIC would provide ‘commercial means to build the world’s greatest sports venue’, as well as pay for Real Madrid museums and football schools around the world.
Real need the outside investment due to debts amounting to £474m, according to their most recent financial accounts, meaning they could not afford to update the Bernabeu themselves.
Club president Florentino Perez promised the Bernabeu, which was opened in 1947 and has a capacity of over 85,000, would become ‘one of the best stadiums in the world, a unique architectural landmark for the city of Madrid and a symbol of innovation for our country’.
Sheik Mansour bought Manchester City in 2008 and has ploughed in more than £1billion, hauling the club out of Premier League mediocrity and transforming it into one of European football’s powerhouses.
City have been crowned league champions in two of the last three years and underlined their present superiority over local rivals Manchester United with a fourth successive derby victory on Sunday, sealed by a goal from Sergio Aguero, a £38m buy from Atletico Madrid in 2011.
