Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega admits he wants to be the club's No1.

Ortega is currently City's backup for Ederson.

"I want to be the number one at Manchester City, otherwise I wouldn't have come at all," he told 11 Freunde magazine.

Ortega says he isn't at City to settle.

"Maybe that's also a big difference to other teams, and I already notice that in training: as soon as there's something to win, they flip the switch. I've always wanted something like that - to be part of a group that is driven and obsessed with success.

"I've had goalkeeper groups that were disgusting. Then you quickly feel alone and isolated.

"With us at Manchester City, we support each other, it's a cool team within a cool team. And I think Eddy has also noticed that this competitive situation helps us. It pushes him - and me too."
