Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips admits he was unhappy being called 'fat' last season.

City boss Pep Guardiola called out his summer signing for being overweight after returning from the World Cup with England.

"For me, I wasn't overweight, but obviously the manager has seen it in a very different way," said Phillips to BBC Sport.

"I just took it and did my best to get as fit as possible.

"It was a little hard to take just because of how much it was oversized and how many people started talking about it.

"I was on the bench for the Leeds game straight after that and I was fit every match since then.

"It was just one of those things, it was a misunderstanding from me and some staff members. You will see a lot more in the documentary."
