Pep Guardiola suggested that tactical tweaks to the Manchester City team were behind Joao Cancelo's loan move to Bayern Munich.
Cancelo has been a key player for City over the last couple of years but started just three of 10 matches since the World Cup as he fell out of favour. As Guardiola demanded full effort from everyone even if they weren't playing, Cancelo's inability to hide his disappointment at not playing did not help him get back into the team.
It still came as a surprise to many to see Cancelo depart on deadline day, but the decision was taken to allow the player to leave and go to Bayern Munich on loan. The German side have an option to sign the player - who bagged an assist on his debut - at the end of the season for £61.6million.
