Chairman believes successful times ahead for Man City

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak is confident the club is on course to become a major force in English football. This season Roberto Mancini's side have secured a place in the Champions League and won the FA Cup.

However according to Al Mubarak this is the start of a dynasty under owner Sheikh Mansour and the Abu Dhabi United Group.

Al Mubarak told the club's website: "I feel we have an incredible foundation for incredible years ahead. We are one step further on a journey we started three years ago.

"I am delighted at the way the team has progressed. But our ambitions are much bigger than what has been achieved this season.

"Now we are in the Champions League we need to perform and progress. It is a big challenge. We have won the FA Cup, that's great. But I believe there are a lot more cups to win - and we want to win the league.

"Sheikh Mansour always felt it was always going to be year four as the year we were going to go for it. I am really delighted for him that we are now in a really strong position.

"I really had no doubts at the beginning of the season that we would be in the top four. I really did feel this was the year we were going to win a cup.

"I was very confident the team was progressing - I felt they were achieving that winning mentality."
