The Manchester City boss had unloaded praise onto the midfielder prior to his move to Wolves.
Matheus Nunes will arrive at Manchester City knowing he will have an unprecedented four-month shot at a starting XI position in the best team in Europe.
If played elsewhere, it would allow Phil Foden to occupy the attacking midfield role, although Julain Alvarez might have something to say about that. Nunes is very much of the Bernardo Silva ilk in terms of physique and skillset, albeit operates more centrally.Perhaps on the other side of the midfield table is Kalvin Phillips, who will be concerned he might not match last season’s tally of two Premier League starts when Nunes arrives.
“They change the ball well, they have fast and intelligent players. I would say that Matheus Nunes is one of the best players in the world today." Nunes fits the typical Guardiola player profile of being smart and athletic, as was referenced in his praise of Sporting 18 months ago. Nunes has also shown his hardiness too, featuring 41 times for Wolves last season.
