Prime Minister Andy Burnham met with Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak once during his tenure as mayor of Greater Manchester. This formal meeting occurred in October 2021, during the UK Government’s Global Investment Summit. In addition to this formal encounter, Burnham also had an informal meeting with Al Mubarak in the stands at a Manchester City home game in September 2019.

Burnham disclosed on Sunday that he would release details of his meetings with senior City officials. Following criticism of his comments regarding the club's breach of Premier League financial rules, Burnham announced that he would provide transparency about his interactions with Manchester City.
