One Manchester City player, Matheus Nunes, impressed his international boss with his performance in a friendly match against Sweden. Nunes, along with two other City players, started in the game and scored a goal with a powerful finish from a deep run. His performance in a new central role earned positive reviews and praise from Roberto Martinez, who highlighted Nunes’ physicality and different skills compared to other midfielders.

Martinez was impressed with Nunes’ performance and highlighted the importance of his inclusion in a formation with experienced players. The manager praised Nunes for showcasing his physical capacity and different skills in the midfield role. This positive feedback from his manager could give Nunes a confidence boost as he looks to earn more playing time at Manchester City, especially with injuries and poor form affecting the squad.

Despite limited opportunities in the Premier League, Nunes’ performance for Portugal could potentially lead to more chances in Guardiola’s side. With key players missing due to injuries and poor form, Nunes might have a chance to showcase his skills and secure a spot in the starting lineup. As Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias have been sent back to Manchester, Nunes remains in the squad and will be hoping for another chance to impress in the upcoming friendly against Slovenia.
