Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Burnham Had Two Hospitality Dinners With Man City Chairman
Caption: Burnham Had Two Hospitality Dinners With Man City Chairman. Prime Minister Andy Burnham attended two hospitality dinners with Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak while serving as mayor of Greater Manchester, it has emerged. Burnham dined with Al Mubarak at football matches in 2017 and 2018, but the occasions were not detailed in a statement released this week by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority about his meetings with the club. The records had previously been deleted under the authority's retention policy. Burnham has faced calls to clarify his relationship with Manchester City after saying he would be "really concerned" if its owners sold the club. His comments followed an independent commission finding Manchester City guilty of systematically breaching Premier League rules. The club plans to appeal. Separately, a Manchester City representative joined a UK trade mission to India this week alongside Burnham's successor as Greater Manchester mayor, Bev Craig.
