Danilo 'considering Manchester City future'

Manchester City defender Danilo is considering his future at the Etihad Stadium just four months after making the move from Real Madrid, according to a report.

Manchester City defender Danilo is reportedly considering his future at the Etihad Stadium just four months after making the move from Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old joined City from Los Blancos in the summer, and the full-back has made 12 appearances in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's side.

Danilo's start against West Ham United on Sunday was just his fourth in the Premier League this season, however, and it is understood that the defender is worried about his place in the Brazil squad ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

"Danilo is worried about his future with the Brazil team ahead of the World Cup," The Sun quotes an Etihad source as saying. "He is getting very opportunities here at the moment. Kyle Walker isn't giving him a look in at all.

"He can play right across the back line but even [Fabian] Delph is keeping him out at left-back as well. It's very difficult for him."

Danilo was replaced at the interval of City's 2-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.
