Bayern Munich loanee Joao Cancelo has reminded parent club Manchester City that he has no intention of being on the losing side of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
City surprisingly sanctioned a loan move for Cancelo on transfer deadline day in January that now sees the defender spending the remainder of the season in Germany. The 28-year-old returns to Manchester earlier than expected, though, as the two teams he is associated with are pitted against each other in the Champions League last eight.
As UEFA competitions differ from the Premier League, Cancelo is free to play against City despite them being his permanent employers. The circumstances surrounding the player's swift exit earlier this year will be an added incentive.
