Elliot Anderson: Man City Are the Kings of Manchester

New Manchester City signing Elliot Anderson has declared that the club are the ‘Kings of Manchester’ as he eagerly anticipates his first derby clash against city rivals Manchester United.

The England international said the Manchester derby was one of the biggest fixtures in world football and one of the matches he is most looking forward to playing.

‘It’s one of the biggest derbies in the world and for as long as I’ve known Manchester football, City have been the Kings of Manchester,’ Anderson told the club’s official website.

‘It’ll be a great fixture, and I can’t wait to be involved in something like that.’

The 23-year-old also revealed his admiration for City legend Kevin De Bruyne, who he has looked up to throughout his career.

‘As I came up through the academy at Newcastle, I always wanted to play like him. I’ve watched him all the time and to be sat here in the same team he was doing it for is so special,’ Anderson added.
