Erling Haaland has broken his silence to rally Manchester City supporters after the club was found guilty on all charges relating to serious breaches of Premier League financial regulations by an independent commission.

The Norwegian striker delivered a message of unity to the club's fanbase, urging them to stick together and enjoy the journey ahead despite the landmark ruling against the club.

"Stick together and spread the love," Haaland said, in his first public comments since the verdict was handed down.

The independent commission's decision marks one of the most significant moments in Premier League history, with Manchester City having faced a wide-ranging investigation into alleged financial misconduct spanning several years.

Haaland's call for solidarity comes as the club and its supporters grapple with the implications of a ruling that is expected to trigger further proceedings regarding potential sanctions.
