Guardiola stopped by to chat with Women’s manager Gareth Taylor and members of the squad as they sharpened up at the City Football Academy.

Our first BWSL match of the campaign sees us lock horns with Arsenal at the Academy Stadium on Saturday 11 September.

A bumper crowd is expected as City look to get our season off to a strong start against a side who will likely challenge us for the domestic title.

With preparations in full swing, Guardiola‘s visit will be sure to have lifted the already high spirits around the training ground.

And there were plenty of smiles on show as the players were put through their paces ahead of what promises to be a fascinating BWSL campaign.
