Man City ace De Bruyne recalls: Pep had to overhaul ageing squad

Manchester City ace Kevin de Bruyne has recalled the first year of manager Pep Guardiola.

City can win a fourth consecutive title under Guardiola on Sunday.

De Bruyne told City Xtra: "When I first arrived, there were a lot of players who won the Premier League, but many were over 30.

"In Guardiola's first season there were a lot of players over 30 years old. The team needed a rebuild.

"Apparently, I was one of the first elements at that time."

De Bruyne joined City in 2015 from VfL Wolfsburg.
