Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits he can find "no rational answer" as to why the Abu Dhabi United Group wanted to launch a multi-million-pound takeover of Manchester City.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan will formally become the new owner of the Eastlands club on Tuesday andt he arrival of the Middle Eastern billionaires has changed the balance of spending power in the Premier League - which was shown by the shock capture of Brazil forward Robinho in a British record deal from under the noses of Chelsea on deadline day.
Wenger, though, maintains the reason behind the unexpected developments in the City boardroom remain a mystery.
Speaking in the October issue of the official Arsenal magazine, Wenger said: "I don't know why these people are in there.
"It doesn't look like they are there to make any money. So if they are not there to make money out of it, then are they buying it out of love? Well, I am not sure these people are supporters of Manchester City from a young age.
"So then comes a further question: Why are they doing it? Why have they bought the club? I can't really find a rational answer."
