Manchester City have confirmed Andrew Tutte has extended his stay at the club - but he knows he may have to leave Eastlands on loan.[LNB] The midfielder is relishing the chance to impress the City faithful, but accepts he may have to consider a loan move in order to play regular football.[LNB]Tutte will now link up with the rest of the senior squad for their pre-season tour to America, where he will look to shine in front of the club's management team.[LNB]The 19-year-old told the club's official website: "I was hoping to sort out a new deal so I'm really pleased to have everything in place ahead of the new season.[LNB]"I'm going to need to get some first-team experience this year so hopefully I can get out on loan and then come back and see what happens.[LNB]"A good side in League One or the Championship would be perfect, but obviously I'll be trying to impress the gaffer during pre-season too."[LNB]Tutte has risen through the club's youth ranks, guiding the Elite Squad to the Manchester Senior Cup last May and playing an integral part in their 2008 FA Youth Cup-winning exploits.[LNB]The star has featured in a City squad just once before in an FA Cup tie at Middlesbrough and he is eager to showcase his talents for the club's followers.[LNB]He went on: "I've been doing running over the summer and a bit of boxing training with my dad so I'm feeling good and looking to kick on this season.[LNB]"It's going to be tough to force my way into the team because we have so many great players at the club so going out on loan is probably a logical step forward for me."
