“Pep Guardiola will have to Leave Manchester City before I can come back, I can’t be on the bench for an academy player and he calls me disrespectful-Cancelo has spoken on his return to Manchester City after his loan at Barcelona
After his latest loan stint, a Manchester City player has earned a spot on the Team of the Season for 2023/24.
Pep Guardiola is set to welcome back several players to the squad soon. Decisions will then be made regarding whether these players will stay with the team, be loaned out again, or perhaps be sold.
Last season, only a few experienced players left the club on loan, while the rest were promising young talents. Among the seasoned players was Kalvin Phillips, whose time at West Ham United did not go as planned.
Following a disappointing period with the Hammers, Phillips will return to Manchester City, where he will be striving to justify the £45 million spent on him.
João Cancelo was another player who went out on loan at the beginning of the season.
Despite some criticism during his time at Barcelona, Cancelo had a generally strong campaign and was even named in WhoScored’s Team of the Season.
As Manchester City prepares to make decisions on player deals, João Cancelo’s recognition in the Team of the Season highlights his noteworthy performance.
