Speaking ahead of the match former Premier League player Asamoah Gyan, said: “It will be a very interesting game because Manchester City is one of the best teams in the world and we are delighted to play against some of the best players in the world. The English Premiership is the probably the best League, so it is going to be an exciting game.”

Midfielder Omar Abdulrahman, who has been linked with moves to England to continue his career after a stellar 2012 Olympic campaign, added: “Manchester City is a great football team and we are very proud to be hosting them at the Hazza Bin Zayed stadium. The stadium should be full and that will give it an amazing atmosphere. We will prepare ourselves properly for the match because it is a match we hope to win. We want to win all matches at the Hazza Bin Zayed stadium.”

And defender Fawzi Fayez said: “Playing in the Hazza Bin Zayed stadium for Al Ain is a great honour and we are proud to be playing a big team like Manchester City here. They could be Premier League Champions when they come here and we hope to play a great game of football.”
