Guardiola: Nunes Best Suited for Right-Back Role

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has shifted Matheus Nunes to a right-back position, citing concerns about his intelligence and composure in midfield. In a recent 0-0 draw against Manchester United, Guardiola praised Nunes' physicality and defensive skills while emphasizing that he is better suited for the full-back role. Guardiola remarked that Nunes has the attributes to succeed defensively, despite his past experience primarily being in midfield. The manager acknowledged that while Nunes is learning, he has not yet demonstrated the necessary intelligence for a central midfield position. This tactical change comes as City seeks a reliable replacement for Kyle Walker, who is currently on loan. The performance of Nunes as a full-back has sparked interest among fans regarding his development in this new role.
