Pep Guardiola's 'beautiful football' at Manchester City is only going to get better and lead to silverware, according to the club's chief executive.

Ferran Soriano is convinced that trophies will be a result of the entertaining attacking football on display at the Etihad.

He told the Telegraph: 'We are committed to playing beautiful football to win.

'Both elements are compatible and the second is a consequence of the first. I am convinced we will see further progress and silverware in the seasons to come.'


And all aspects of the club appear to be angled towards success, with City's turnover for 2016/17 reaching £473.4million, an increase of 21 per cent. 

The evidence seems to be backing up Soriano's confidence too, not just financially but also on the pitch. 

Guardiola has led City to the knockout stage of the Champions League and the Spaniard's side are blazing a trail domestically, holding an eight point lead over Manchester United.

The plaudits have come thick and fast for City's relentlessly engaging style and the numbers back it up. 

They have scored 38 goals in just 11 games, winning all but one game, a draw with Everton. 

If Soriano's prediction of further improvements are correct, then City's title rivals will have a huge fight on their hands to curtail the club's dominance.
