As the 2024-25 season comes to an end, it is expected to be a summer of change at Manchester City. It is also going to be one at BBC Radio Manchester. After eight seasons with the team, I have decided now is the time to go for a new challenge and that means leaving my role as the station's Manchester City reporter. For six of those eight seasons I have been lucky to be the voice of the Blues on local radio.

I've been asked many times in the last week or so: "What's the one moment of Kevin De Bruyne's time at Manchester City that will stick with you?"It is quick to think of the pass to Leroy Sane against Stoke, the assist for Oscar Bobb against Newcastle, an FA Cup final goal, a brilliant free-kick, or his goals against Real Madrid.

Kevin de Bruyne is the only player at Manchester City who was there before Pep Guardiola. He will leave as one of the greatest this club has seen. Friday's new is a shock, but not a surprise. The 33-year-old is out of contract in the summer and after a couple of campaigns in which he has been hit by injury and struggled for form, maybe it is the right time. But it takes nothing away from what he has achieved: six Premier League titles, two FA Cup, five League Cups, one Champions League.
