Pep Guardiola admits that he and Joao Cancelo did not see eye to eye when the player first arrived at Manchester City, mainly down to his own “mistakes”.
The Portugal international this week signed a deal aimed at keeping him at the club until 2027, a reflection of the importance he has assumed in Guardiola ’s table-topping team.
But when Cancelo arrived at City in 2019, he struggled for playing time and was unable to shift Kyle Walker from the right back spot while not looking entirely at ease as a makeshift left back.
