Man City midfielder Fernandinho: Plenty of years left!

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho insists he has plenty of seasons left in his legs.

The 34-year-old Brazilian has been one of Pep Guardiola's most important players in the last two seasons as City have won seven of the last eight domestic trophies available.

Fernandinho refused to put a date on when he is ready to retire.

"I always say I'll play until my mind will allow me to play," he said.

"When I feel happy and motivated to play every day this is important. To train happy and fresh everyday so until I don't feel like this, I will play, but I don't want to say until 37, 38...40; we shall see."
