Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said he expects much more from his latest defector Mateus Nunes.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is not yet completely happy with his latest signing Matheus Nunes. The Catalan saw him in action during the international break and believes there is room for improvement.

“Nunes needs to improve on his first touch”

He declared at a press conference on Friday: “He (Nunes) can play holding midfielder or attacking midfielder and even full-back. He needs to improve from his first touch, it’s not good enough yet. His energy is good and he played his last matches with Wolves as a winger. He has so many qualities.”

Overall, the Catalan coach is still happy with the Lusitanian international, who cost the club 62 million euros: “He knows how to dribble well and over time he will learn to be more precise from his first touches. He will succeed. »

Nunes can hope to take his first steps this Saturday when he travels to West Ham. He is in the Sky Blues group called to take part in this meeting counting for the 5e day of PL.
