Man City confirm FA Cup final travel plans as Erling Haaland named world's joint most valuable player

FA Cup travel

Manchester City have confirmed their travel arrangements for supporters travelling to Wembley next month for the FA Cup final, amid rail strikes planned for final day.

With no trains running between Manchester and London on June 3, City and United have announced plans to put on extra coaches for fans with tickets for the game. Both clubs have been allocated 30,500 seats at Wembley, with City in the West End of the stadium.

The club say subsidised coaches will cost £50 for adults and £40 for juniors for a return journey - that's cheaper than the FA's coaches for supporters which are priced at £60 and £40 respectively.

With a Coldplay concert taking place at the Etihad on the day of the final, coaches will depart from two Metrolink Park and Ride locations for City fans, rather than the stadium car park - East Didsbury and Radcliffe.

Haaland value

Erling Haaland has been named as one of two players with the highest current transfer value, according to a new model.

Research from the CIES Football Observatory pulled together information from over 1,000 clubs within 74 leagues across the world to estimate a transfer value for each individual player, based on form and current length of contract.

Haaland is estimated to be worth £175million (€200million), placing him at the top across Europe's top five leagues alongside Vinicius Jr. of Real Madrid. That value is almost four times the £51million (around €60million) that City paid for the striker just last summer by activating his release clause at Borussia Dortmund.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed an incredible debut campaign at the Etihad,
