Sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta is confident the former Barca midfield man will stay at the helm after penning a new two-year contract in the summer.
Guardiola is believed to be Sir Alex Ferguson's number one choice to replace him in the Old Trafford hot-seat when he retires, but Zubizaretta is adamant he will stay and fulfil the Catalan powerhouses long-term project.
"If Ferguson is thinking that way, he has excellent taste," Zubizaretta told Ona FM.
