Manchester City chief Ferran Soriano has urged fans to be proud of what they've achieved in recent years.

Last week, Soriano gave a stirring speech in front of a 400-strong crowd at the Etihad Stadium during the Supporters Club Annual Dinner.

He declared: "...if you think about it, and I know we want to win all the games, but in the last few years I've seen three trophies, I've seen the best football academy in the world being opened, I've seen the birth of two new football clubs – Melbourne City and New York City – I've seen the expansion of the Etihad Stadium...it's pretty amazing!

"And you know what the most important thing is? The future. We have done this in such a short period of time – what can we do in the next five years? The next decade? I hope I will be here and able to celebrate."
