Vincent Kompany says Manchester City's players must learn to cope with the pressure of playing for the world's richest club.

The Belgium defender told City's website: "From now on the Club is always going to be looking for the best players to come in in any position.

"So the fact that no one is protected forces you to perform every week and that's the only way to make progression in the league, because it's a tough league. Without confidence and without the right mentality it's always a bit more difficult, so that's the only way we're going to get to where we want to be."
