Cancelo said: “We had differences, not a clash, we had different opinions. "I have a very strong personality and so does he (Guardiola), but he's the one in charge.

"Each of us took our own paths, but I thank God for having worked with him. I felt important in this group. He made me grow as a person and as a player."

The defender left the current Premier League champions last summer, joining Saudi side Al Hilal after a season on loan at Barcelona.
