Revealed: How Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United compare to Man City's profit-making numbers

Man City made a profit for the first time since the Abu Dhabi takeover

MANCHESTER CITY have announced they have made a profit for the first time under Sheikh Mansour.

The Abu Dhabi billionaire took control in 2008 and has ploughed in millions to help City win two league titles and two FA Cups.
This summer they broke their transfer record twice with Raheem Sterling and then Kevin De Bruyne coming in for £49m and £54m.
And now City have been ranked sixth of all global football clubs in the Deloitte Money League.
