Man City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak (left) chats to Andy Burnham in 2019 at the Etihad Stadium, when he was mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham had two hospitality dinners with Manchester City football club's chairman while mayor of Greater Manchester, it has emerged.

A previous GMCA register of declarations for Burnham, seen by the BBC, detailed a "dinner with [then-Manchester City Council leader] Richard Leese and Chair of Man City" for an Everton match at the Etihad stadium in August 2017, valued at £300 for hospitality.
