Injuries have cost Nunes the chance to make a bigger impression at the treble winners. His quality has been evident in small glimpses so far from the former Wolves midfielder.
In an interview with SkySports Matheus Nunes believes he will make it at Manchester City. The Portuguese international is certain that City manager Pep Guardiola will make him a better player. He said: “I still need to improve some things, but if Pep believes I should be here there is no reason why I shouldn’t. I want to score more goals, recover more balls, get more assists. But he improves every player who comes into the team, and I will be no different.”
City manager Pep Guardiola has a proven record of improving players. If the injury issues that have set Nunes back are behind him, his game should benefit from Guardiola’s tutelage. There isn’t any doubt that the quality is there with Nunes he now needs to seize his opportunities when they arise.
