Pellegrini delighted with Man City squad strength

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is delighted with the strength of his squad.

City have so far made five new signings this summer in goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Bacary Sagna and midfielders Fernando, Bruno Zuculini - a deal completed late on Friday - and Frank Lampard, who has joined from the club's American sister outfit New York City FC on loan until January after leaving Chelsea.

Pellegrini feels he has a stronger squad than last season, but is not about to make any predictions about exactly how potent they might be.

Asked if the group he has are capable of winning the Champions League in 2014/15, he said: "I don't know. It is impossible for me to know the future.

"The only target of our squad is the same as last year - to try to win the four competitions that we are going to play."
