Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini: 'I trust Edin Dzeko'

By , Football Editor
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini backs Edin Dzeko to impress in the coming season.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that Edin Dzeko will play a big role for the club in the coming season.

It has been suggested that the Bosnian would seek pastures new following a difficult campaign in 2012-13, but the new City manager has backed the striker to "continue improving".

He told Sky Sports News: "Not only in Hong Kong. I have a lot of trust in him.

"Everyone was talking before I arrived that we will bring in [Edinson] Cavani, [Robert] Lewandowski, all those players.

"But I always trusted in Edin Dzeko and he is now playing the way I want. I am sure he will continue improving."

Dzeko scored the only goal in the final as City beat Sunderland to win the Asian Trophy on Saturday.
