MFC would like to clarify that contrary to reports in Tuesday's Teesside Gazette, the club's new record signing Britt Assombalonga was a £15m transfer and not £14m as reported.

We can also further state that the wage figures suggested in reports by the Gazette are wide of the mark. We can confirm that the club works within the strict parameters of our wage structure and all our playing staff are inside a bracket that falls way below the figures reported.

Furthermore, the same report states the club paid Atalanta £10.8m for the services of Marten de Roon last summer when, in reality, the club paid a transfer fee of £8.8m with a further £900,000 on the player making 30 appearances.

As a club, we are keen to ensure our fans receive the correct information and facts rather than read misinformation from outside sources.
