Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes wants to make a huge impact with the club this season and beyond.

The Portuguese knows that he may have cost himself a legacy at Wolves to make the move to City this summer.

However, he wanted to play in the Champions League and compete for every trophy.

When asked about the playing style he can bring to City, he stated, "I'm an offensive midfielder so I like to give assists sometimes more than goals.

"Most of the managers in my career all say I need to shoot more. The fans don't know that I shoot good because I don't shoot. When you see my statistics for the whole season I shot like five times and scored one goal. I need to shoot more.

"When I was younger I shot a lot and scored a lot of goals. When I went to Estoril before Sporting I played more as a six. Maybe I lost the thing where I look to shoot because I was playing low on the pitch. When I went to Sporting I started playing as an eight and I got higher on the pitch.

"I can't explain, people keep telling me in training and games, I sometimes have opportunities to shoot but I pass. Sometimes three, four, five times in a game I don't shoot. I'm not known for scoring because I don't shoot. It's not that I miss a lot of goals, it's because I don't shoot.

"At Sporting my last goal was an amazing goal outside the box, my only goal for Wolves was an amazing goal. I feel I'm very good at shooting but I don't shoot as often.

"I like to assist. When you have someone like [Erling] Haaland, it's easier for you to give assists. He's always there, waiting for you to put the ball there. When you do, he scores. It makes it easier because he has such efficiency in scoring goals. Not only him, Julian [Alvarez] as well."
