It’s a weird one this. It’s like Nolito all over again except Cancelo’s actually a good player and could become much better

Wish he could stay. But if Pep says he isn’t happy with him, it must be something about him as a person, not as a player because quality- wise I think he is an excellent player and good enough for us, he just hasn’t settled in yet. Give the man some time???

What do we think?
Since arriving at Manchester City from Juventus for a £58.5 million fee last summer, Cancelo has made just 11 appearances for City in the Premier League.
However, when he has played, he has averaged a surprisingly impressive WhoScored match rating of 7.06 in the league, in addition to a respectable 6.91 average over his six Champions League fixtures.
As such, it would appear that Cancelo has indeed performed impressively during his time at City, however, it seems that, for some reason, many of these fans have already lost their patience with the right-back.
