Gareth Barry: 'Manchester City looking ahead to next season'

Manchester City's Gareth Barry says that the club is focusing on next season.

Gareth Barry has said that Manchester City are already looking ahead to next season.

The club was unable to retain its Premier League title in 2013, while defeat in the FA Cup final led to the sacking of manager Roberto Mancini.

The midfielder told Sky Sports News: "We're disappointed with the overall finishing position in the league and to lose the FA Cup final but you can't win them all.

"You have to learn and we have to come back fighting strong for next season. The lads are already looking forward to it.

"The club needs to keep winning trophies. We've had a disappointing season in not picking one up but if we can keep setting high standards the club will move forward and, as a team, we will move forward."

City have recorded two wins over Chelsea during their tour of America this week.
