Pep Guardiola says he is not concerned by rival clubs spending money as Manchester City aim to hold off several challengers for their Premier League title.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager was speaking ahead of Wednesday’s pre-season friendly against Liverpool in New York, following their 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
"Every club does what they believe. I completely understand," he said.
"I am not concerned about what one of us said one day and the circumstances. If Liverpool believes they should spend this kind of money, it is because they believe it is best for them."
"When we decided to extend the contract, first of all I am comfortable, the second one is the club trust what we are doing," he said.
"Khaldoon [Al Mubarak], Txiki [Begiristain] and Ferran [Soriano] know it depends on results. We have three more years on the contract, but the results will dictate what will happen in the future.
"That’s the most important thing – to be consistent, and to arrive in April and May and be there for the title.
"As football trainers we are always in a dangerous position."
