‘City Have Been The Kings Of Manchester’: Anderson Relishes Derby Challenge After Move
Kevin De Bruyne: Manchester City’s new midfielder Elliot Anderson says he cannot wait to experience the Manchester derby after joining the Premier League champions, with the 23-year-old explaining that the club’s winning culture and the opportunity to work under Enzo Maresca were key factors behind his decision to make the move.
Anderson arrives at City following a remarkable rise through the English game and begins the new chapter after an outstanding 2025-26 Premier League campaign in which he registered a league-high 3,323 touches. Speaking to JioHotstar, the midfielder reflected on his rapid progress, his admiration for Kevin De Bruyne, and the prospect of joining one of football’s biggest rivalries.
For Anderson, however, the appeal of City was clear: the chance to be surrounded by a team with an established record of competing for the biggest honours.
