The England international was given the role he favours during the friendly with Ghana, which saw Asamoah Gyan’s equaliser cancel out a first international goal for Andy Carroll.
And having played in a central role, Milner told Sky Sports: “I enjoyed it. I think that’s my best position. I played there for Aston Villa.
“That’s why I moved to Man City, to play there in central midfield, and maybe I haven’t played there as much as I would have liked but I’ll do whatever’s best for the team. It was great to play in there tonight and hopefully contribute.”
Milner joined City last summer in a £26 million deal that also saw Stephen Ireland move to the Midlands club.
