Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart believes club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak's claims they are innocent of breaking financial rules.

City have been found guilty of the majority of 115 breaches of financial rules they had been accused of by the Premier League, although they are set to appeal against the ruling.

Al Mubarak said he is still committed to "proving the club's innocence" and the "process still has a long way to run".

Hart, who made 348 appearances for City in all competitions between 2006 and 2016, told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club Al Mubarak was someone who has "led the club brilliantly" and is a person to "trust".

"I've heard everyone else go down every single rabbit hole, every single wormhole, every single discussion," Hart said.

"My honest opinion is I've got no reason not to trust Khaldoon. What he said is enough for me.

"I loved how he spoke. I loved the letter because that was from someone who cared about the club."

Hart twice won the Premier League (2011-12 and 2013-14) and League Cup (2013-14 and 2015-16) as well as the FA Cup (2010-11) during his time at City.
