Man City manager Pep Guardiola refused to be drawn into any talk that he could be set to leave the club this summer.

There have been plenty of rumours that this could be Guardiola’s final season as Man City manager, although there is yet to be anything concrete.

Antoine Semenyo’s 72nd minute backheel secured an incredible 20th trophy for Guardiola at Man City, beating Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, Guardiola kept his cards close to his chest when asked about his future.

"The moment the fire decreases, then we will go home. I am a funny guy,” he said.

"This year I have been really good. Last season was the toughest season for many reasons.

"This season it is every day how we behave. Maybe we took time to find some stability with the team. In the Premier League it doesn't wait."

Guardiola also insisted his side won’t be celebrating their win as they eye another Premier League title, adding: "Not even one (celebration). You know Bournemouth (away on Tuesday). That will be even tougher. Try to go there and get a result."
