Kevin De Bruyne leaves the City stage. Here’s Will Unwin’s report, so it’s time for me to say goodbye, too.

KDB speaks:

Manchester is home. Manchester is where these little kids are born. I came here with my wife, Michele, to stay here for a long time. I didn’t expect to be here 10 years to do what we have as a club, supporters, my teammates.

We won everything. We made the city, the club bigger. Now they’re going to take over.

I wanted to play with creativity, I wanted to play with passion. I wanted to enjoy football and I hope and think everyone enjoyed it.

Everybody here has pushed me so hard from inside and outside the club to be the best version of myself.

It’s been an absolute honour to play with these guys. I’ve made so many friends for life.
