Bayern Munich loanee Cancelo makes special gesture at Man City

Bayern Munich loan star Joao Cancelo has shown that he still has respect for Manchester City.

The Portuguese is on loan at Bayern from City for the second half of this season.

As his present side were beaten 3-0 by his parent club in the Champions League first leg, Cancelo avoided stepping on the City badge while walking out into the ground.

Cancelo talked about his loan move recently in-house interview with Bayern.

"I saw the move as an opportunity to play for a big club like FC Bayern," he said.

"I like new challenges. I want to prove to the people and myself that I can adjust to new situations, regardless of the league or the club. Ultimately, I want to show that against all odds and challenges, I can always come back and get stronger.

"Bayern is a club that considers discipline very important; the staff at FC Bayern are very professional - and I can identify with these principles. I am a very competitive player, and I don't like losing.

"Never give up - that sums up who I am. Discipline as well, as I am a professional and hardworking footballer with a strong personality."
