Joao Cancelo has accused Pep Guardiola of being dishonest and called Manchester City unappreciative.
Cancelo’s comments were in response to Guardiola’s statement that he was allowed to leave due to his reaction to being dropped.
After initially being loaned to Bayern Munich, he later moved to Barcelona in the summer.
When asked about Guardiola’s assertion that he responded poorly to being left out of the team, Cancelo told A’Bola: “Lies were told! I’ve never been a bad team-mate for them and you can ask either (Nathan) Ake or Rico (Lewis). I don’t have any superiority or inferiority complex towards them, but that’s the manager’s opinion.
“I stayed because it’s not true. I think Man City were a bit ungrateful to me when they said that, because I was a very important player in the years I was there. I never failed in my commitment to the club, to the fans and I always gave everything.”
