Manchester City players rewarded with £168k watches
Manchester City's players were lavished with gifts worth nearly £5 million when they visited the club's owner in Abu Dhabi.
Big money signings Carlos Tevez, Gareth Barry and Roque Santa Cruz were among the players to meet Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi en route to a pre-season tournament in South Africa.
The Sheikh presented each player with a jewel-encrusted Franck Muller watch worth £168,000 during a reception at his palace on Wednesday.
City spent the night in the five-star Emirates Palace Hotel and will fly to South Africa for games against Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday and Tuesday respectively.
Manager Mark Hughes named a 28-man squad for the tour, including Robinho and Elano who will join up next week following summer international commitments.
Emmanuel Adebayor is expected to sign for City within 48 hours after passing his medical, bringing the squad to 29.
That would mean Sheikh Mansour would have spent £4,872,000 on watches for his players.
