Kevin De Bruyne is confident his versatility will become a critical part of Manchester City's title chances this season.

“I can only get better if I play with great players. This team has a lot of great players,” De Bruyne said. “I think when I know the team a bit better I will get even more of the ball I am adapting well to the team. It is just the beginning so I don’t feel any pressure. I just try to play my game.”

De Bruyne was mainly used in the No. 10 role for his former club Wolfsburg, but said he was confident his ability to play across the forward line would add a different dimension to City’s attack.

“I can play the three positions. Obviously, even if I am on the No. 10 I change position so much,” he added. “I think you need to do that if you play against teams like West Ham who are defending with nine men.”
