'Pep yelled at me about my weight... I said 'I'm not a child'': Samir Nasri opens up on rows with 'arrogant' Pep Guardiola at Man City, his 'not great' handling of Sergio Aguero - and what Mikel Arteta's like

Samir Nasri has revealed how 'arrogant' Pep Guardiola scolded him about being overweight during their brief time working together at Manchester City.

The France international told Guardiola 'don't yell at me, I'm not a child' to silence him during his second dressing down over his weight in the space of two days during the summer of 2016.

Nasri had been at City for five seasons when Guardiola arrived as manager but the new boss wasn't at all happy with the midfielder's physical condition.

It resulted in Nasri being loaned out to Sevilla that season, having played just one competitive game under Guardiola, and then being sold to Turkish club Antalyaspor.
