Manchester City loanee Joao Cancelo has admitted he has a challenging personality.

The Portuguese full back was loaned out by City boss Pep Guardiola this winter.

Cancelo is at German giants Bayern Munich until the end of this season.

“As I already said, he found a way to play, after the World Cup, in which he started playing with a full-back more inside, where I also played, and he liked what he saw with Rico [Lewis] and Nathan [Ake]," Cancelo said, per O Jogo.

“But I think a player is always a bit selfish. Any player wants to feel important, wants to play and anyone who says otherwise is lying. A competitive player, like me, who aspires to win titles, just wants to play.

“It's not a question of devaluing my team-mates. But I thought I deserved to play and he didn't.

“So we talked, it was a conversation, not a discussion, and we decided that the best thing would be for me to leave this market. An opportunity I couldn't refuse. It was by mutual agreement.

“If City didn't want to, they wouldn't let me leave, because I had a contract. I'm very professional, I've always given my face for all the clubs. I have a difficult personality, yes, but I have never, at any time, disrespected team-mates or coaches."
