Busquests who plays and looks like your typical old school midfielder is said to always leave his phone on silence when in the company of others.

Why? Because he believes he doesn't need anything other than those beside him.

While many players use their social media accounts to attract sponsors, the midfielder says he would rather get rid of certain platforms.

"If it was up to me, I'd get rid of Twitter to stop the fake profiles and people saying and doing what they want," he told El Larguero on Cadena Ser.

Busquets who is a target for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City joined the Barcelona youth ranks in 2005, before Guardiola handed him his senior debut in 2008.
