Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano has issued an apology to supporters for the club's role in the Super League, adding that those in charge "lost sight of the historic values of the club".

City were one of six English teams to sign up for the new breakaway competition, joined by Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham.

However, all have now since withdrawn amid feverous backlash, with Soriano writing a letter to the club's supporters in an attempt to make amends.
