Manchester City gear up for new season in St Andrews

Manchester City get some training in the St Andrews sunshine.
Manchester City get some training in the St Andrews sunshine.

Manchester City football stars landed in sunny Courier Country and made themselves at home with an early morning training session on Thursday.

The stars arrived in a personal jet for a series of Scottish fixtures including against Dundee on Sunday before jetting off to the USA.

The Premiership champions were put through their paces in view of the public at their temporary training camp in St Andrews.

Onlookers watched the world-class footballers train in the St Andrews sunshine in preparation for their clash with the Dees. Those who missed out will have a chance to see the City stars train on Saturday.

Fans with tickets to Sunday’s friendly will be able to watch a training session from the Bobby Cox stand on Saturday evening.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men will be getting a feel for Dundee FC’s home patch ahead of the eagerly-anticipated friendly between the two sides.

While City will be without Martin Demichelis, Pablo Zabaleta and Sergio Aguero, who are in Brazil with Argentina, the Dark Blues will boast a host of new signings for the Premiership season ahead.

The likes of Gary Harkins, Paul McGowan, Kevin Thomson and James McPake will hope to make their home bows.

While Man City are sampling some of Courier Country’s plentiful sunshine, the Dark Blues are in Budapest, warm-weather training for the season ahead.

Sales of tickets for the high-profile meet have been great, according to sources inside Dens Park. Pre-season season ticket sales at Dens Park are also enjoying a surge, with sales outpacing those at the same time last year.
