Manchester City fans are set for a stunning boost from the club's Arab owners later this year.

The Sun says they plan to slash season ticket prices by up to 20 per cent next season.

Chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak has met with fans groups and assured them owner Sheikh Mansour will absorb the costs.

City are already one of the cheapest clubs to watch in the Premier League with season ticket prices averaging £450.

A City insider said: "It might be a drop in the ocean to the owners in terms of lost revenue but they also know this will be welcomed nearly as much as if we had signed Kaka."
