Kalvin Phillips insists he's happy at Manchester City.

The former Leeds United midfielder is a bit-part player with the Treble winners.

But he told City's website: I never thought before I came here [to City] that confidence would be a problem in my game having played at Leeds every single week. I always knew that if I was fit, there was a chance I'd play.

But that's not necessarily the case here. You've got to be in 100% physical ability to play and even if you are there are players that are in the same situation that might train better than you that week or might have been a major part of the team for years before that.

But I'm always ready and I think obviously yesterday was a good example because I never expected Rodrigo to come off with a red card.

The manager looked to me and gave me the opportunity and I just thought, I need to perform in some sort of way, and luckily, I did that.

Obviously I'm at the best team in the world and I know that the talent here is unbelievable. The players in my position are world class players and any chance I get to play, you know, I'm up for it.

I just relish being on the pitch, I relish playing with the best players in the world and against some of the best players in the world, and that's what I want to do so."
