Nathan Ake admits the unity inside Manchester City has surprised him.
Ake joined City two years ago from Bournemouth.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "I never thought there was going to be such togetherness. I'm sure a lot people say it about their clubs, but it's actually true.
"Before you think there are a lot of stars, maybe it's not going to be the same as Bournemouth because Bournemouth there a lot of English people and everyone bonds together easier.
"I thought maybe there would be more cliques, like languages together, but when I arrived here it was eye-opening, everyone was so nice, the staff, the players are very good with each other, there are no real groups, everyone is together. It surprised me a little bit, but a good surprise."
