Revealed: Man City may be forced to rejoin the European Super League if they are unsuccessful in their new legal dispute with the Premier League

On Tuesday evening, Man City launched 'unprecedented legal action' against the Premier League' in a dispute that is shaking up top-flight English football.

City are still awaiting an outcome for 115 charges for allegedly breaching financial rules - that are strongly denied by the club - with a hearing now set for November.

However while they await the hearing, which is expected to last six weeks, the Premier League champions have reportedly taken legal action against the division.

According to The Times, City are looking to end the league's Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules, which they claim are unlawful.
