Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has stated that he wants Matheus Nunes to develop into a right-back, as he believes the player is “not clever enough” to play the midfield role he has held throughout his career.

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola said Matheus Nunes “can become a good right-back,” but is “not clever enough” to play in midfield. Nunes has played at right-back in each of City’s last three matches, a position he has played often since Kyle Walker’s departure to AC Milan on loan in January.
