Working with a great manager like Guardiola is one more reason that I was convinced to join Manchester City."

The 32-year-old defender helped Portugal win Euro 2016 this summer, and was linked with a transfer move to Manchester United last month when the transfer window was still open. Fonte's current deal would expire in 2018 and he hopes the Saints could sign a new deal with him in the future.

Manchester United demolished Premier League champions Leicester City 4-1 on Saturday.

* Dortmund poked fun at Real Madrid
Real Madrid played against Villarreal and Las Palmas last week when they could only draw both of these clashes. Coincidentally, both of their shirts are yellow.

* Big Sam lost his England job
Sam Allardyce was appointed to replace Roy Hodgson to be the manager of the Three Lions in July. However, just about 2 months after being in this role, the 61-year-old has lost his job.
According to The Telegraph's video, the England boss was telling a 'businessman' how to get round FA third party ownership laws and negotiating a ï¿¡400,000 deal to hold keynote speeches in the Far East. He was captured telling reporters that it was 'not a problem' side-stepping FA rules which stop third parties 'owning' football players' economic rights.
The FA already confirmed that Allardyce has left his position as England manager after 67 days in charge, and Gareth Southgate might be the replacement for him.
