Maresca says Man City ‘more together’ after financial charges

Enzo Maresca, the Manchester City manager, believes the club has become "more together" after being found guilty of over 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules. Despite the club's six consecutive wins, City faced a hostile atmosphere at Anfield and secured a 3-0 victory over 10-man Liverpool last week. Maresca emphasized that the team needed to create their own "noise" to overshadow the distraction outside the pitch.

Despite his team's 4-2 loss in the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain, Maresca expressed his personal view that the fans, the club, and the team have become more united. Manchester City maintains their innocence and is appealing the guilty verdict delivered by an independent commission. Maresca, who trusts the club hierarchy, urged caution against premature judgment, advising people to wait for the final outcome.

A home win against Ipswich on Saturday would mark Maresca as the first City manager to win his first seven games. Former Chelsea boss Maresca, with his team leading the Premier League by three points, remains focused on securing the record rather than personal achievements.
