An out-on-loan Manchester City star is reportedly already becoming frustrated at his new club, Bayern Munich.

In recent weeks, Bavarians head coach Julian Nagelsmann has favoured Josip Stanisic over the Portugal international at right-back.
Bayern's 3-2 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach about two weeks ago was the last game Cancelo started, with the German tactician having favoured a back-three formation when they played against Union Berlin and Stuttgart.
According to Sky Sports Germany, Nagelsmann considers the 28-year-old a true right-back and thus feels he is not suitable to play on the right-hand side of three-man defence at an elite level. The possibility of displacing Alphonso Davis and Kingsley Coman in the wing-back positions is also said to be unlikely.
It thus appears the grass may not be greener for Cancelo, who left City for the Allianz Arena in search of more game time on deadline day in January.
At the Premier League champions, the Portuguese fullback stopped having a regular starting berth as manager Pep Guardiola rotated between Nathan Ake and Rico Lewis prior to the former Juventus man's temporary departure from England.
The same report suggests that the creative right-back is quiet but frustrated at his lack of game time in Munich.

The Benfica academy product hit the ground running when he arrived in the German top flight, bagging an assist 17 minutes into his debut with Die Roten, but it is now suggested that Cancelo will not start against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 encounter on Wednesday.
