Kalvin Phillips reveals songs he and Man City new boys Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez sang

Kalvin Phillips has lifted the lid on the initiation that Manchester City's new summer signings went through in front of their new teammates during their pre-season tour of the United States.

The English midfielder was talking to Sky Sports as he described how much fun everyone had as they enjoyed some good food while also taking part in some light-hearted entertainment designed to bond the team.

He said: "I did my initiation song for the first time yesterday in front of the whole Man City lot. It was quite good, I was voted the best singer which isn't too bad.

"I sang George Ezra, 'Budapest' — I'm not really a singer, I actually was just practicing all day in my room and everyone else must have just thought I sounded good, which I didn't.

City's new midfielder then went on to talk about some of the other song choices that were on display and revealed that Blues' new striker Erling Haaland had everyone up on their feet.

He added: "He sang Enrique Iglesias, 'Hero'.
