Midfielder Matheus Nunes, who joined Manchester City for £53 million from Wolverhampton Wanderers, has faced challenges establishing himself under Pep Guardiola. The 26-year-old has often found himself playing out of position, filling in at full-back rather than showcasing his midfield talents. This limited role has led him to contemplate a return to his former club, Sporting, sharing his feelings on a recent podcast. Despite a five-year contract with City, he remains hopeful about revisiting his roots while navigating his current position in the team.
Nunes expressed a strong desire to return to Sporting, stating: "I obviously want to go back [to Sporting] and I've said it several times. I think they know that."
Discussing his experience at Manchester City, Nunes reflected: "I was really pi**d because we lost, but I can't explain the affection I felt."
Matheus Nunes shared his limited impact at City, mentioning: "At times this season, I have been limited to filling in at full-back to cover for gaps in the squad."
Recognizing the constraints of his situation, Nunes noted: "I won't say dates, obviously, I won't estimate it, but obviously I will return to Sporting in the future."
