PSV fullback Angelino: I joined Man City for more than football

PSV Eindhoven fullback Angelino has no regrets over his time with Manchester City.

Angelino admits he chose to move to City as a teen ahead of offers from Real Madrid and Barcelona. He was sold to PSV last summer after a superb season on-loan at City's Dutch partners NAC Breda.

"I received several offers, but I chose to go to England and I do not regret anything. I have experienced some nice years there and I assumed that learning the language there could help me find work if I could not become a professional footballer," he explained.

On NAC, he added: "I did not expect for it to go that well, but thanks to that choice I got in front of PSV. My goal for this season was to play and PSV gave me that option, so I decided to leave City."
