Gary O’Neil does not believe a hostile atmosphere will affect Matheus Nunes, but expects the former Wolves player to receive a bad reception at Molineux today.
The midfielder went on strike in late August to force through a £53million move to Manchester City, and he has made a good start to life at his new club.
“If we’re really nice to Matheus Nunes he’ll still try and kill us with the ball and if we all boo him and jeer him, he’ll still try and kill us with the ball.Despite that, O’Neil did fire a parting shot when quizzed about Nunes, as he referenced the player’s late red card for Wolves at the start of this season.
O’Neil added: “He’s a talented player and he moved for that amount of money to the best side in the world, and it shows what quality you have. Nunes’ behaviour towards the end of his spell at Wolves took many by surprise, and O’Neil publicly but carefully condemned it at the time.He said: “I think we’ve seen across world football that some players attempt to force through moves in that way, it’s not just here and with Matheus. It happens fairly regularly now. I don’t feel it helps but they’re obviously being advised by people that it may help.
