Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne admits that he is unfazed by manager Pep Guardiola's frequent tactical changes.

Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has admitted that he is happy to be moved around the pitch as manager Pep Guardiola looks to find his preferred formula.

Guardiola has come in for some criticism in recent weeks for frequent tactical changes, with the side keeping just one clean sheet in their last nine games and falling seven points adrift of leaders Chelsea in the title race.

"I am used to playing in six different positions in my career so that's not an issue for me," De Bruyne told Sky Sports News when asked about Guardiola's tactics. "I have always changed positions and I don't expect any different. It's all the same to me. It's all about the way you interpret it.

"We look at tactics in meetings. It just depends how the trainer sees that game.

"Obviously it's changed a little, but I've always been the offensive player in the midfield zone. I think I've shown over the last five or six years that I can create chances and do well there."

De Bruyne is currently the league's top assister, having set up eight goals in 13 appearances to date.
