On Sunday, Manchester City will take on Liverpool in their first match back after the international break. Amid the fallout from the club's guilty verdict concerning financial fair play violations, the management, players, and coaching staff are calling on supporters to unite.
Manager Enzo Maresca reached out to fans before returning to the Etihad Stadium.
We need to be together.
On the same day, striker Erling Haaland echoed these sentiments in a video shared across Manchester City's social media channels.
We need to stick together, we need to stay positive.
This show of solidarity signals the club's intention to present a united front during this challenging period. Both Maresca and Haaland are following in the footsteps of former boss Pep Guardiola, desperately defending the team.
Manchester City has already filed an appeal against the verdict and intends to contest any sporting sanctions. However, it is clear that the club’s loyal supporters are prepared to back the team, irrespective of the outcome of the case or the potential for exclusion from the Premier League.
