He praised new manager Enzo Maresca's attention to detail during their initial training sessions and anticipates further learning about his role within the squad.
Anderson described himself as a versatile midfielder capable of both defending and attacking, emphasizing his willingness to contribute fully to the club's success. Manchester City, who finished second in the Premier League last season, are set to kick off their new campaign against Bournemouth on August 23.
