Pep: Nunes can be an incredible right-back option

PEP GUARDIOLA believes he has discovered an “incredible” right-back option in Matheus Nunes.

The Portuguese midfielder has shone in the position for Manchester City this season.

Nunes was used as cover for Kyle Walker and Rico Lewis last season but, following the former's departure to Burnley, he is increasingly being seen as the first choice.

Lewis' preference is to play in central midfield and two other players to have filled in at right-back this term, John Stones and Abdukodir Khusanov, have had fitness problems.

Nunes has started the last three games and City manager Guardiola feels the 27-year-old could have a future in the role.

Guardiola said: “He can be an incredible right-back because he’s a holding midfielder with incredible physicality.
