Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O'Neil is not expecting Matheus Nunes to receive a positive reception when he returns to Molineux for Manchester City on Saturday.
Nunes joined City in a £53million deal on deadline day after being identified by Pep Guardiola as a late option in the summer transfer window. The Blues boss was forced to act quickly after losing Kevin De Bruyne to a long-term injury in the first game of the season against Burnley.
With such little time to find a replacement, Wolves rejected any initial approaches but were forced to negotiate after the Portuguese midfielder refused to train in a bid to force a move. With the cut still stinging, he will return to Molineux as a City player on Saturday and O'Neil isn't expecting a friendly welcome.

"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."
Pushed on what kind of reception the midfielder could expect, he said: "I have no idea. You get mixed. When people leave like that, I'd suggest it's not [positive]."
