History

Historical Context

After the Abu Dhabi United Group bought Manchester City for £200 million on 1 September 2008, Sheikh Mansour’s investment sparked a era of domestic dominance, highlighted by Pep Guardiola’s three-peat and a 2022-23 treble that featured over 100 league goals. Extending homegrown star Phil Foden to 2030 follows earlier long-term deals such as Sergio Agüero’s, securing a stable core for new manager Enzo Maresca.
