“Pep Guardiola will need to leave Manchester City before I return. I can’t be benched for an academy player and then be labeled disrespectful,” said Joao Cancelo about his potential return to Manchester City after his loan at Barcelona.

After his recent loan spell, a Manchester City player has been named to the 2023/24 Team of the Season.

Pep Guardiola will soon have some players returning to the squad, and decisions will be made on whether they will stay, go out on loan again, or be sold.

Among those on loan, Kalvin Phillips had a disappointing stint at West Ham United and will now return to City, where he will strive to justify the £45 million spent on him.

Joao Cancelo, who was loaned out at the start of the season, had a generally good campaign and was even included in WhoScored’s Team of the Season, despite facing some criticism while playing for Barcelona.

Joao Cancelo has been recognized in the Team of the Season, and Manchester City will now decide on his future with the club.
