Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has put match-worn shirts and boots up for auction in a bid to raise thousands of pounds to help businesses across Manchester cope with the UK government lockdown.

City midfielder is determined to make a difference with cafes and restaurants across the city struggling financially to survive.

Using online auction site Charity Stars, Gundogan has seven items on sale and is currently set to rake in more than £3,000 to donate.

Writing on his page, Gundogan wrote: "Hello my name is Ilkay Gündogan and I'm a professional footballer of Manchester City.

"Until the end of the current season I will provide very special items and prizes that you can bid on. All proceeds will go to cafes and restaurants in Manchester who are struggling with the effects of the lockdown."
