Pep can improve me a lot. He’s the best in the world. What City have done in the last few years has been incredible. I will improve and progress on the pitch.

Tijjani Reijnders explains that the choice to sign for Manchester City was easy.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Tijjani Reijnders revealed when Manchester City approached him about moving to the Etihad from AC Milan. He also revealed that he is hoping that Pep Guardiola can improve him as a midfielder and a player. Speaking with the media, Tijjani Reijnders said: “They contacted my father at the end of the season and they were looking for a Number 8, for me it was not a big doubt if I wanted to go to Manchester City, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world right now.

The choice was easy to make. Of course, Milan will always be in my heart. I had two really good seasons there and met very nice people, but you also have to look at the sporting aspect. I want to reach some goals in my career and I think that I can reach those here quickly.

Speaking on the prospect of being managed by Pep Guardiola, Reijnders said: “That is also a big thing of course, he is the best coach in the world, I am eager to learn new things and a new style of playing. I’m very much looking forward to it.
