Joao Cancelo has released a farewell video on his official Instagram account, confirming his exit from Manchester City shortly before the club could.
Cancelo, who has joined Bayern Munich on loan for the rest of the season after a fall-out with City boss Pep Guardiola over his lack of playing time, said goodbye to the club with a highlights reel of his time at the Etihad Stadium.
Accompanying clips of some of his highlights from his three-and-a-half years at City, Cancelo wrote: "Once a Cityzen, always a Cityzen. Thank-you." The post was liked by more than 75,000 people, including Cancelo's City team-mate Aymeric Laporte.
