Wolves boss Gary O'Neil expects a gauntlet for Matheus Nunes for his return with Manchester City on Saturday.

Nunes left Wolves for City in bitter circumstances for the selling club, unhappy with the midfielder's behaviour in the final days.

"A talented player," O'Neil said of Nunes. "He moved for that amount of money to the best side in the world. It shows the quality he has. I knew that from the weeks I spent with him. An incredibly talented boy.

"It looks like he has played a decent part in their recent games. I expect him to play and like all their fantastic players, we have a plan in place."

Asked about the fans' reception for the midfielder, he said: "I have no idea. You get mixed. When people leave like that, I'd suggest it's not [positive]."
