Pep Guardiola opened the door to signing a new contract at Manchester City on the eve of the club’s title defence.

The 52-year-old, who has won the Premier League four times in five years, is now in the final season of his deal.

A decision on Guardiola’s future is unlikely to be taken until towards Christmas but he is deliberating extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium beyond seven years.
