I don't think Jesus actually said literally "I am the Son of God" instead, it was alluded to with sayings like "You say that I am" or when Peter guessed Jesus was the Son of God, Jesus just said to not tell anyone.

This question has been asked many times. Many references from John, and from the other gospels as well have been given. Also Acts and the epistles and Revelation. You can use the Search option if you really want to find out.
The son of man title probably was used by Jesus as it is the name of the Messiah in a Daniel prophecy. The Messiah is not only God as man, but incarnated as a man, so one of us, sharing our lot, and dying for us.

Check out Matthew 27:43; John 11:27; John 9:35; John 10:36
That should do. There are more. What I've seen is that more people who saw Christ called him the Son of God more then He said that He was. Those are interesting too.

ok here are some
Mark 14:61 62
61 But he kept silent and made no reply at all. Again the high priest began to question him and said to him: “Are you the Christ the Son of the Blessed One?” 62 Then Jesus said: “I am; and YOU persons will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
John 11:4
But when Jesus heard it he said: “This sickness is not with death as its object, but is for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
But like you said, he mentions he is the son of man many more times.
"Almost invariably, however, he said that he was “the Son of man.” By identifying himself this way, he highlighted his human birth—the fact that he was truly a man. Thus he also revealed himself to be that “son of man” whom Daniel had seen in vision appearing before Almighty God—“the Ancient of Days.”—Matthew 20:28; Daniel 7:13."

How about when Jesus said...
"all things have been committed to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him....

Jesus is not God’s Son in the sense of how we think of a father and a son. God did not get married and have a son. Jesus is God’s Son in the sense that He is God made manifest in human form (John 1:1,14). Jesus is God's Son in that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 declares, "The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.'" In Bible times, the phrase “son of man” was used to describe a human being. The son of a man is a man.
During His trial before the Jewish leaders, the High Priest demanded of Jesus, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God" (Matthew 26:63). Jesus responded, “Yes, it is as you say, ‘but I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven” (Matthew 26:64). The Jewish leaders responded by accusing Jesus of blasphemy (Matthew 26:65-66). Later, before Pontius Pilate, “The Jews insisted, ‘We have a law, and according to that law He must die, because He claimed to be the Son of God’” (John 19:7). Why would claiming to be the “Son of God” be considered blasphemy and be worthy of a death sentence? The Jewish leaders understood exactly what Jesus meant by the phrase “Son of God.” To be the “Son of God” is to be of the same nature as God. The “Son of God” is “of God.” The claim to be of the same nature as God, to in fact “be God,” was blasphemy to the Jewish leaders; therefore, they demanded Jesus’ death. Hebrews 1:3 expresses this very clearly, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being…”
Another example can be found in John 17:12 where Judas is described as the "son of perdition." John 6:71 tells us that Judas was the son of Simon. What does John 17:12 mean by describing Judas as the "son of perdition"? The word "perdition" means "destruction, ruin, waste." Judas was not the literal son of "ruin, destruction, and waste" - but those things were the identity of Judas' life. Judas was a manifestation of perdition. In this same aspect, Jesus is the Son of God. The Son of God is God. Jesus is God made manifest (John 1:1,14).

So it would seem in some of the accounts of the Gospels ... in truth Jesus could NEVER have said that.
The Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Messenger of God, His Word, Pure, A sign to the Universe, A Mercy to Mankind, Not dead and did not die on the cross, The knower of the Book and Wisdom and Torah and Bible ..... Is a servant of GOD and he WILL return to tell us ........ sooon.
Wait ye .... I too am waiting.

please don't make these claims. It's harder to find these quotes because Jesus didn't like to sound proud and He often just refered to Himself as "the Son".
Matthew 16:16-17 -- Jesus affirms it
Matthew 26:63-64 -- again, He confirms it
Luke 9:20-21 -- again, affirms it
Luke 20:9-18 -- parable of the husbandmen
John 3:18 -- actually says it
John 5:25 -- actually says it
John 9:35 -- actually says it
John 10:36 -- .....
John 11:4 -- .....
that's all I could find

The easiest way to answer questions like these is to read your own copy of the Bible. Try reading just John chapter 17 to start, where Jesus is praying to his Father shortly before his betrayal and execution. You can see there how he felt about God and what their relationship was. I hope it encourages you to read more, and yes ask more. But the most satisfying answers will always come from the Bible and not people's opinions.
