De Bruyne adamant European ban won't affect Man City after West Ham win

The Belgian star guided his team to victory and stressed they won't be approaching things differently in the wake of recent off-field drama

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne insisted it is business as usual for the club after a 2-0 Premier League win over West Ham, despite their recent two-year ban from European competitions.

Pep Guardiola's side are challenging UEFA's ruling relating to Financial Fair Play breaches between 2012 and 2016 with the club insisting they've done nothing wrong.

A Champions League ban would have massive ramifications for City with a number of players likely to seek new clubs to ensure they can compete in Europe's premier competition.
