Pep Guardiola has confirmed Manchester City’s veterans will remain at the club next season despite a rebuilding squad.

City are now up for just one trophy after falling out of the Premier League title race. And being dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid.

They have faced criticism for not replacing their squad sooner, with many players now in their 30s despite winning six of the past seven Premier League titles.

They brought in new signings Omar Marmouch, Abdoukodir Kusanov, Nico Gonzalez and Vitor Hess earlier this year after struggling with injuries and form.

However, Guardiola says the experienced winger will remain important to City next season. “

There are players who are over 30 and they are part of the future of this club,” Guardiola said.

“Except for Kevin, he and the club will decide their future. เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง.The others have contracts and I expect them to stay next season. They will help us,” he said.

“We cannot play with only young boys or only old players, we have to be united… The end of this season and next season are very important.

“I trust Gundogan, I trust Bernardo, I trust all the players who have contracts, they are here, I have no doubt about that.”
