Barcelona star Ilkay Gundogan has criticised the city of Manchester.

The German midfielder, who signed for Barca from Manchester City in the summer, won 14 trophies with the English club.

However, Gundogan appears to have realised his quality of life in Manchester was not up to standard.

Per Sport in Spain, Gundogan doesn't understand how he lived in Manchester for seven years.

He reportedly relayed the above information to a relative, with his wife having previously criticized Manchester restaurants.

She said on Instagram to a fan: “Sorry I'm sad to be honest but nothing. I tried so bad to find a good restaurant but... horrible food everywhere.

“Can't find a real Italian or good sushi or just fresh food .. everything frozen.

“Restaurants here are just focus on making money with drinks and shot like night clubs not quality food. Maybe in London but in Manchester nothing. I'm sorry."
