Pep Guardiola and Ruben Dias clashed after Manchester City drew 2-2 with Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.
A top five finish in the Premier League table is far from certain for Manchester City this season.
Pep Guardiola has been unable to solve the problems at The Etihad this term, with the likes of Ruben Dias dropping off drastically from the levels he was once at.
The draw with Brighton on Saturday summed up City’s woeful season so far.

It’s little wonder why Pep is planning such a huge clear-out at the Etihad, with up to eight Manchester City players believed to be up for sale.

His performance away at Real Madrid last month made everyone sit up and take notice regarding just how bad his regression has been.

Does Ruben Dias actually want to stay at Manchester City
It was recently claimed that Ruben Dias open to signing a new deal with City.
However, yesterday’s poor display and subsequent clash with Guardiola may well change things.
Ruben Dias has proven that he is very much fallible this season, and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola may well be on the look-out for a big upgrade on the 27-year-old in the summer.
Dias has been superb for Man City on the whole over the past few years.
However, his time at The Etihad may well be coming to an end.
