Manchester City are planning to build their own power station.

City have drawn up plans to construct a sub-station nearby their state-of-the-art Etihad Campus training ground.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: "The club expects to use a lot of power and the council does not want it draining the local supply.

"And it looks like the locals might get some cheaper energy too, so everyone's a winner.

"The new site will be huge and could even include a hotel."
