Man City have announced plans to host a special screening of the FA Cup final against Manchester United this Saturday. Fans in the UAE can head to the City Challenge at Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi, and cheer on the team as they aim to win the world’s oldest football tournament for an eighth time.

"Right now my feeling is I want to stay next season. We talked with the club, we have time to talk next season because I have to see the players as well [to see] if they follow me, they follow us, for many reasons. I will stay and during the season we will talk when calm."
