On Saturday, Kevin De Bruyne called himself an 'old man in this game' and gave a defiant response to his recent drop in form.
Expanding on those observations, De Bruyne has opened up on his long-term Manchester City future, saying he will continue playing for as long as he is enjoying himself while admitting he is a perfectionist and will know when it is the right time to stop playing at the highest level.
De Bruyne is under contract at City until 2025, which will bring his stay at the Etihad to 10 years. The 31-year-old has come under the spotlight for a dip in his usual high standards of late, but he has since come out fighting to insist he has plenty more to give at the top level of football.
