Manchester City manager and restaurant owner Pep Guardiola has joked he will drop Ilkay Gundogan for the rest of the season after the star player's wife slammed Manchester restaurants on social media claiming there are no good places to eat in the city.
The player's wife Sara Arfaoui made headlines across the UK after saying on Instagram that she had failed to find a good restaurant in Manchester and there was 'horrible food everywhere'.
