Erling Haaland said Manchester City should remain positive and keep their focus on football despite the uncertainty surrounding the club's financial case, according to the source. The striker said he cares deeply about City and argued that the team must continue to work through its sporting commitments. The report did not present Haaland as speaking for the club's legal position, and it did not report a new ruling. Instead, it focused on the player's public message before the next phase of the season. City have denied the allegations in the wider case and are continuing their appeal process, according to the source context.
