Joao Cancelo fumes at Manchester City and Pep Guardiola treatment in bombshell interview

Barcelona loanee Joao Cancelo has issued fresh claims against both Manchester City and Pep Guardiola in a new bombshell interview.

The 29-year-old sensationally quit the Etihad Stadium in January 2023 after a rumoured training ground bust-up, leaving Manchester City less than 12 months after signing a new long-term contract until 2027 at the club.

Cancelo completed an initial move to Bayern Munich for the remainder of the 2022/23 season, before signing for Barcelona on a season-long loan in September for the entirety of the current campaign.
