Brazil international Elano is delighted with the way his midfield partnership with Michael Johnson is developing at Manchester City.

Elano told City's website: "I really like playing alongside Michael because he's a player that likes to share the ball around and help out his team mates.

"It's been great to help him with his goals, but I'm looking forward to scoring myself. We are playing good football, all my teammates are sharing the ball with me, and they're not selfish so it's better for me and good for the team.

"I've enjoyed all the games so far, but the last one was the one I'm happiest with, especially when I helped Michael with his goal. All the games have been different, I've had to adapt but I'm happy with the way it's going for me."
