Abu Dhabi - Khaldoon Al Mubarak recognises the season had been disappointing in terms of not winning a trophy

Pep Guardiola has taken Manchester City on the right direction, according to Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the Chairman of Manchester City.

He has spoken at length about City's recent season and taken a look to the future - which he describes as being "very exciting and very entertaining" and that more trophies are on the horizon.

He said Manchester City owner, Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is always involved with the major decisions from the very start and that everyone is highly confident the club is going in the right direction.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "We are truly going in a direction that is positive and we are very excited about how we are developing as a team. Pep [Guardiola] has taken the squad and started going through that natural cycle of development.

"I have high confidence that we are going in the right direction. We are playing, and you have seen many glimpses of that, a type of football that is very exciting and that is very entertaining and which the fans will grow to love. The results will come - I have no doubt the results will come."

Al Mubarak continued to say: "That area is a continuous conversation with HH Sheikh Mansour and is always ongoing."
