Joao Cancelo left Manchester City so he could play more – Pep Guardiola

The Portugal international this week joined the German side for the remainder of the season with a view to a permanent switch. There have been reports since the surprise transfer was concluded on deadline day that Cancelo had become a disruptive figure in the dressing room after falling out of favour in recent weeks.
