Manchester City trained in front of thousands of fans at the Academy Stadium as we kicked off the new season at Cityzens Saturday.

In what was the first open training session held in Manchester since Pep Guardiola joined the Club, fans had a rare opportunity to see the Catalan prepare his squad for the new campaign.

Beforehand, captain Vincent Kompany and the rest of the first team squad took the time to sign autographs and pose for selfies.
