Kelechi Iheanacho was pictured with the Manchester City
squad as they jetted out to the club’s pre-season tour of China.
Iheanacho was initially not included in the squad for the
pre-season tour where Manchester City will be facing rivals Manchester United
and Borussia Dortmund in Beijing and Shenzhen.
He was however one of the players pictured at the as Pep
Guardiola and his men made their way through the Manchester airport.
The 19-year-old was his confident self as he strolled along
with his teammates at the terminals to board their flight. Iheanacho would be looking to work more with Guardiola whohe has tipped for success in the Premier League.
The forward who had his breakthrough year at City last
season scoring 14 goals in 35 appearances expects the club to do better than
last season under the Spanish coach.
“We finished fourth last season (in the Premier League) but I think next season will be better especially with the new coach coming in,” the 19-year-old told Manchester City TV.
“I think the new coach will be good things to the team; a new dimension and I can’t wait.”
