Guardiola Aims for Records in Community Shield Clash

Manchester City, under manager Pep Guardiola, is gearing up to break more records this season, starting with the Community Shield match against Manchester United. Guardiola has dismissed links to the England job, focusing on City's present ambitions. City has also agreed to sell Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid for a club-record fee.

Manchester City followed up their treble win with an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title last season. Manager Pep Guardiola now sets his sights on more records as they prepare for the season's Community Shield curtain-raiser this Saturday.

City faces Manchester United at Wembley in a rematch of the FA Cup final, which they lost 2-1. Guardiola emphasized the importance of the match and said they will give their all to win the trophy, focusing on how young players perform on the big stage.

Rumors have linked Guardiola to the vacant England job, but he remains focused on City despite his contract expiring next year. The club has also agreed to sell Argentina forward Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid for around 81 million pounds, a club-record sale.
