Manager yet to speak to club’s new sporting directorKevin De Bruyne still out with muscle injury
Pep Guardiola is confident that, should he depart next summer, Manchester City will not falter as Manchester United did when Sir Alex Ferguson left in May 2013.
Guardiola will decide this winter whether to extend his contract into a 10th year, Txiki Begiristain having confirmed he will leave as City’s sporting director at the end of the season. Ferguson left United as champions but they have failed to be serious title contenders since.
