Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (Arabic: منصور بن زايد بن سلطان آل نهيان; born 20 November 1970), often referred to as Sheikh Mansour,[1][2][3] is an Emirati royal and politician who is the current vice president and deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, as well as the minister of presidential court and member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. He is the brother of the current president of the UAE, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and is married to Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed Al Maktoum, daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. A billionaire, through City Football Group he holds stakes in a variety of football clubs, including Manchester City FC.
Mansour is involved in various state-owned businesses in the UAE. He is chairman of the two UAE sovereign wealth funds (Emirates Investment Authority, Mubadala Investment Company)[4] and a board member of a third (Abu Dhabi Investment Authority).[5][6] He is chairman of the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates,[7] and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
Mansour is the owner of the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), an investment company for the Abu Dhabi royal family,[8] that acquired Manchester City in September 2008. The football club, which is operated by Khaldoon Al Mubarak and the CFG, has overseen a significant transformation since the takeover, having won seven top-flight league titles, including its first in 44 years and first Premier League title in 2012 and the Champions League title in 2023. Mansour owns multiple other sports clubs, including New York City FC in Major League Soccer.[9] Human rights groups and other critics have characterized Sheikh Mansour's sports investments as sportswashing to improve the image of the UAE amid its controversial human rights record.[10][11][12]
