MANCHESTER: Pep Guardiola has denied reports that he has a break clause in his Manchester City contract that would allow him to leave the Premier League champions at the end of the season. Guardiola repeated his position that he is keen to pledge his future to the club on Friday, after last month saying he was open to a longer stay. Speculation about his future has surfaced with City trailing leaders Liverpool by 14 points. “No,” It is not true,” Guardiola said at his press conference ahead of the weekend clash with Arsenal. “We played Wednesday and we got back late to Manchester and, with regeneration, people were tired,” said the City manager.
