Barcelona midfielder Gundogan: I'm still connected to Man City

Former Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan admits he will always be connected to the club.

The German left the Citizens for Barcelona in the summer as a free agent.

While he is enjoying himself at the La Liga giants, Gundogan will never forget being captain of City's treble winning side.

On staying connected to the club and the city of Manchester, Gundogan stated this week: It's been amazing to see the guys from Community Integrated Care again and to see Kayley, Daniel and Katie so happy and smiling a lot.

I still feel very connected to the city of Manchester and I'm very happy we could manage that together to bring them to my new city and to show them where I play and work now. They have told me they enjoyed the city a lot. I hope to see all of them again soon.

"I spent seven years in Manchester, it became my second home, to try to give something back to the community. It feels amazing, seeing the people with a smile, connected by football and their passion. It's a pleasure even after leaving Manchester, it still feels great."
