Midfielder Elliot Anderson says Manchester City have long been the “kings of Manchester” as he prepares for the upcoming Manchester derby after moving to City. The 23-year-old describes the derby as a new experience, framing it as a different chapter in his time in Manchester.
Anderson enters the season following a Premier League campaign in which he recorded 3,323 touches, a stat highlighted by the outlet. The article places emphasis on his perspective as a player adjusting to City and facing their city rivals for the first time under his new club.

Other details beyond his quotes and the touches figure are not specified in the provided text, and no competing angles are presented in the excerpt.
