Manager claims City fans suffering more than players Captain Rúben Dias: ‘We’re calm. We trust the club’ Enzo Maresca has admitted he would describe Manchester City as “cheats” if he were a Manchester United or Arsenal fan. The manager’s comments came as he suggested it had been harder for City’s supporters to deal with the scandal surrounding the club than it had been for him or the players.
Maresca guided City to an impressive 3-0 win at Liverpool on Sunday in their first game since the club was found guilty of more than 100 charges related to breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules. He was asked whether the performance was down to the team being brought closer together by the guilty verdict.
