Manchester City identify another former coach linked with child sex abuse after Barry Bennell conviction

Manchester City say they have identified another person with 'potential historic connections' to the club who has been linked with serious allegations of child sex abuse.

The Premier League outfit launched a QC-led review in November 2016 to investigate whether Barry Bennell – convicted on Thursday of 43 sex offences against 11 victims - used City to facilitate abuse of young footballers.

The probe, which Sportsmail understands has so-far cost close to £1m, is also looking at whether any other paedophile may have used their connections with City to commit offences at any point from 1965 to the present day.
