- Action relates to new associated party transaction rules
- Guardiola hits back over City’s January splurge
Manchester City have initiated new legal action against the Premier League, as the champions challenge rules on associated party transactions (APT) for a second time.
The news comes as the two parties remain in dispute over an initial challenge to rules that control how much money can be generated through sponsorship from companies with connections to a club’s ownership.

Chairman Nigel Travis welcomes the Premier League champions in the FA Cup with grand plans for the future
“I remember going to Maine Road in 1964 with my dad and we got walloped six-nothing,” recalls Nigel Travis. “I think it’s the only time I’ve ever seen us play them.” The Leyton Orient chairman’s account of watching his club face Manchester City is rare among fans of the League One team – the teams have not met since a second-tier 2-2 draw in 1966. Fortunes have diverged since but Orient welcome City to east London on Saturday in upbeat mood and at something of a crossroads.
After seven and a half years of steady upward progress since Travis’s consortium took over a club in ruins after relegation to the National League, the chairman has been soliciting fresh investment. A new stadium nearby is being considered and talk has been afoot of aping their former lower division London rivals and “doing a Brentford”. The manager, Richie Wellens, has spoken of “not being ‘little Leyton Orient’ any more”.

Manchester City are taking new legal action against the Premier League, and time is up for Paul Warne at Derby
On Marcus Rashford, Ruben Amorim had this to say on him on Thursday.
“As a journalist or a fan, you can take this in the way that you want,” the manager said. “What I say is I couldn’t put Marcus to see the way you’re supposed to play football and to train the way I see it. And sometimes you have one player who is really good with one coach and the same player with another coach is different. I just wish the best to Rashford and Unai Emery, and they can connect because he’s a very good player.”
Amorim was asked if, in essence, Rashford had said he did not agree with the head coach’s ideas regarding football. “You know, like me, it’s not the way that occurs, it’s something that you feel, as a coach and a player,” said Amorim. “It’s quite normal, it happened with a lot of coaches. The important thing is that I’m here saying it was my decision. And Tyrell [Malacia] and Antony: it was my decision, to do these loans [too].”

New recruit can help bring solidity to midfield this season and potentially play alongside his compatriot in future
If Manchester City supporters are expecting Nico González to be a silver bullet in midfield, they may want to calm their hopes. The 23-year-old Spaniard has arrived from Porto for £50m to help fill the huge hole left by his compatriot Rodri in front of the defence but the former Barcelona man is a very different player. City will need to adapt to him, rather than the other way round, if they are to solve their gaping problem.
Pep Guardiola’s and City’s difficulties have been glaringly apparent since Rodri tore a cruciate ligament in September. They have lacked physicality and mobility in midfield, leaving them to endure a dreadful run, and arguably the best coach of his generation has been unable to find a solution with what was available to him. González’s welcome to England, and the first test of his capabilities and La Masia upbringing, could come at Leyton Orient of League One in the FA Cup on Saturday.

For spice, consider how this tie is the sides’ third meeting this term. Manchester United won the first two with an aggregate of 8-2, Ruud van Nistelrooy was interim manager for each, then Ruben Amorim made the Dutchman unemployed when taking over as the head coach in mid-autumn. Now returning to Old Trafford as Leicester’s manager, Van Nistelrooy can expect a warm welcome due to his former status as a star United striker. But if he engineers a knockout of the holders, Van Nistelrooy will be recast, temporarily, as the villain of the faithful. Jamie Jackson
