According to a joint disclosure by British political journalists Alex Wickham, Alex Dooler, and D. Nair, sources indicate that UAE officials have warned the UK government that if Manchester City's final punishment is too severe, it could diminish the UAE's willingness to undertake large-scale investments and commit to major projects in the UK in the future.

The sources, who requested anonymity because the information has not yet been published, stated that the UAE believes Premier League action against Manchester City could affect bilateral relations between the UK and UAE.

This report emerged after Andy Burnham previously faced criticism, including from within the UK government, over his comments regarding Manchester City.

Burnham has argued that Manchester City should not be disqualified solely because of its owner's Abu Dhabi affiliation with the club, citing the club's substantial investment in the UK as one of his reasons.

The report suggests that the UAE has now applied unusual pressure on the UK government regarding the Manchester City sanctions issue.
