Man City news: Pep Guardiola must do this to match Man Utd and Chelsea - Danny Mills
MANCHESTER CITY boss Pep Guardiola must once again dip into the transfer market and improve his squad this summer - despite winning the Premier League at a canter.

That is the opinion of ex-Manchester City defender turned pundit Danny Mills.
City’s third Premier League title was secured yesterday after rivals Manchester United lost 1-0 at home to bottom club West Brom.
The Sky Blues have yet to win the Premier League back-to-back though and Mills says that must be the aim for them next season.
Chelsea and Manchester United are the only teams who have done that and Mills believes new signings are key to City keeping their rivals at arms length.
When you look back at Chelsea, Manchester United, when they’ve won the title they’ve probably recruited two, three or four top-quality players
“Recruitment is vital,” he said on Sky Sports.
“When you look back at Chelsea, Manchester United, under Sir Alex (Ferguson) especially, when they’ve won the title they’ve probably recruited two, three or four top-quality players to improve your first team, to add to that.
“Everybody else will, you’ve got to improve just to stand still.
“So I expect two or three big signings to come in.

“People have seen what Liverpool have done (against Manchester City). Everybody wants to beat the champions.
“They have the squad to do it, they have the finances as well.
“But as we’ve seen, it’s not easy in the slightest.”
