Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has warned his rivals that he is just begun to find his rhythm.

The Belgian endured an interrupted season as City clinched their second consecutive title.

He has looked in rare touch in the first three games of the 2019/20 campaign, but De Bruyne says he's only getting started.

"[The assist] that doesn't really matter," he said. "A lot of people talk about that but I just don't think I played the best game.

"It's one of those games, August, for me, I'm just trying to find a rhythm and then September is easier.

"I think the first two games we played better, yesterday was more tough, but I think it's normal when you play against a team that plays 5-4-1, it makes it more tougher, you need to be more patient but in the end you need to win games in different manners and I think that's what we did."
