Kalvin Phillips vows to fight for Man City future ahead of Pep Guardiola talks

Kalvin Phillips has promised to stay and fight for his place at Manchester City.

Phillips, 27, ended up winning the treble in his first season at the Etihad but admits he wants to play more regularly after starting just two Premier League games. But Phillips is determined to adapt and plans to speak to Pep Guardiola in pre-season as he insisted he can follow examples like Jack Grealish and Nathan Ake who took a year to settle.

England midfielder Phillips said: "I came to Manchester City to win trophies and we won the trophies but I didn't play as much as I wanted to do. My intention is to stay there. We have just won the Treble, so there is no reason for me to leave other than if I am not playing I will obviously have to think about it. I cannot give it 12 months and say I am not playing so I am going to leave.
