Man City midfielder De Jong not bothered about meeting Sheikh Mansour

Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong has no problem having not yet met the club's owner.

Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan has spent millions on City but the 39 year old billionaire had never attended a match until a fortnight ago. When he did turn up, he didn't meet the players. So De Jong is still to meet the owner.

He told the Sunday Mirror: "I don't think that is abnormal. The sheik has installed people at the club who take care of everything on his behalf. That is the way he works. I do know what he looks like, as I have seen pictures of him before. When he was shown on the large screen in the stadium, he was not a complete stranger to all the players.''
