Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola revealed to the press after Manchester City’s emphatic victory on Saturday that captain Kyle Walker has asked to leave the club. The skipper was left out of City’s squad for the 8-0 FA Cup win over Salford. After the game, Guardiola said: “Two days ago, Kyle asked to explore the options to play abroad at the end of his career. In his mind, he would like to explore it, to go to another country, to play the last years somewhere else for many reasons. For that reason, I prefer playing other players whose mind is here.”
