Matheus Nunes believes he can help fill the void created by the loss of Rodri for Manchester City. Nunes was signed from Wolves last August for £47.25 million.
“We’re going to have to fill the void because it’s a massive loss but whoever is on the pitch is going to perform well,” Nunes said. “At Wolves [his last club] I played more as a winger and last year here I played more as a 10, but when I played for Sporting Lisbon [from 2019-22] I always played in the double pivot so I’m used to every position now. I try to help the team every time the coach puts me on the field but I know the other guys are all ready as well because we have so much quality in the team.”
“We have shown that if any player is out we have another one that is ready and has top quality to play,” added Nunes. “Last year it happened with Erling [Haaland] and Kevin [De Bruyne] and we still managed to win [the title]. This year, I know we will be the same.”
