Several members of Manchester City’s squad have taken to social media to react to John Stones’ confirmation that he will be leaving the club this summer.

Stones has announced that he will be bringing the curtain down on an illustrious, trophy-laden decade at the Etihad Stadium when his contract expires in June.

The 31-year-old has been an astounding success in Manchester since joining forces with Pep Guardiola in the summer of 2016, when he moved to City from Everton for £47.5 million.
