Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has enjoyed his time at the club and wants to stay for the long-term.

The center half has been an integral part of the team that has won every available trophy at least once over the past few years.

While the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gundogan, Aymeric Laporte and Cole Palmer have all left in recent times, Dias wants to remain within this winning machine."

You could be in the most beautiful place in the world but if you are at work and not happy then you are not happy," he told the National.

Imagine whatever you like: sea, sun, snow, whatever. We are in Manchester. It has its bad things and its good things like any other place but mostly we are happy at work and even though we've won a lot we know we can win again.

You ask me where I would rather be? In a place that I can have whatever specific thing I like in terms of living outside work or would rather be in the place that will allow me to keep on winning; I choose the place I can keep on winning."
