Blues chairman Khaldoon reveals club are aiming to break their own record with fifth title on the bounce

- DAVID ANDERSON

MANCHESTER CITY began targeting a record fifth successive Premier League title the second the final whistle went against West Ham to confirm them as champions again.

Chairman Khaldoon AI Mubarak was delighted to see City become the first side to win four consecutive English crowns and says they immediately set their sights on a fifth.

He says everyone at the club shares that vision of making more history at the Etihad.

"Five in a row, absolutely, without a doubt," said AI Mubarak (with manager Pep Guardiola, right) in his end-ofseason review, when asked what was City's next goal.

"Actually, to be clear, this is something I'm most proud of in this club and in this organisation we have.

"From top to bottom, I would say if you asked this question to anyone, they would give probably the same answer.

"And that five in a row happened the second that final whistle went against West Ham. I remember just going down to the pitch and telling almost everybody I saw, 'Excellent, fantastic result, we're so proud, but now we're going for five in a row."
