Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has insisted that Sergio Aguero will be a Manchester City player next season after the striker concluded a prolific season with a brace in the 5-0 Premier League win over Watford.
The arrival of Gabriel Jesus in January briefly saw Aguero demoted to the bench but the forward duo combined effectively from the start for the second time in a week at Watford, with the Brazil striker completing the rout.
Questions over Aguero's future have been a staple of Guardiola's media briefings this term and there was a weariness about the Catalan as he confirmed there is no intention to move on the 28-year-old or resurgent captain Vincent Kompany during any close-season overhaul.
He said:
"They are players for Manchester City and they will be in Manchester City next season."
"We finished 15 points behind Chelsea so we have to play better and Sergio helped us a lot.
"We have to provide him with better solutions to score goals. It doesn't all depend on Sergio - he did his job really well."
When asked to further clarify his stance on Aguero, Guardiola added: "You've been there in Manchester, how many times have I said?
"He will be here. Are you happy now?"
