Signed in the summer of 2022, the Portugal international spent one season in the Black Country, before agitating for a move in the recent window. Nunes went on strike to force a move to Manchester City when their interest emerged in August. He subsequently got his wish, with Wolves banking £53million in the process. But the nature of his departure has left a bitter taste in the mouth, evidenced at Molineux on Saturday. Pep Guardiola started the midfielder for their trip to the Black Country and he was given an extremely hostile reception by the fans who used to support him. His name was loudly booed before kick-off, before he was greeted with some X-rated chants and a slightly more friendly one suggesting "his teeth were offside". Nunes attempted to explain his exit in the days leading up to his reunion and offered an apology for how it transpired. "I can understand there are some supporters not happy with my decision and for that I'm sorry," he began. "I made my decision but it was an opportunity I couldn't say no to. Manchester City is a top [club] with the best players in the world, the best manager. They won the treble last year. I don't know if I'd ever get that opportunity again, so I just took my chance. I'll always be grateful for Wolves giving me that opportunity. "I know it may upset some fans about my decision to not train. For that, I'm sorry. It was something, maybe I would have done differently but it was my decision because I couldn't let this opportunity pass by." Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs took a subtle dig at his actions, claiming the stance he took wasn't necessary. Gary O'Neil also criticised Nunes' decision to not train in the days before his switch to the Etihad. Gu){kind=link}
