BBC Radio Manchester presenter Emily Brobyn thinks Manchester City may commission a statue or name part of their stadium after Pep Guardiola as the Spaniard is set to sign a new deal which will take his stay at the club to 10 years.

"It is incredible news - I'm so over the moon," Brobyn told Radio Manchester. "I don't think any City fan would have possibly thought that we'd have a decade of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

"The timing is significant, coming straight off the back of four defeats in a row. It's come at a perfect time, this will provide the boost that City fans have been looking for, in what is a really important time of the season.

"He's so passionate, he feels like one of us now, he completely gets it.

"The next step with him completing a decade I'd look at maybe the club commissioning a statue of him, they may even name the north stand when the extension is complete - they may give him that honour and give him the name of the stand.

"That's the level we're at with Guardiola - he is a genius, he is the best football manager in the world."
