City ace Roberts wants regular football

Date published: 29 May 2017


PATRICK Roberts hopes to keep playing regular football after a glorious 18-month loan spell at Celtic came to an end.

The Manchester City winger helped Brendan Rodgers' side to a treble as their last-gasp 2-1 victory over Aberdeen in the William Hill Scottish Cup final secured an unbeaten domestic campaign.

The 20-year-old played in 38 of their undefeated 47 matches - scoring 11 goals - and became more influential in the closing months of a memorable campaign.

His future is now uncertain as Pep Guardiola reshapes his squad. City released five players last week before signing Monaco playmaker Bernardo Silva in a £43million deal.

But Roberts, who joined City from Fulham in a potential £11m transfer in July 2015, is determined to continue enjoying his football.

When asked about his future, he said: "I don't know, we'll see what happens. I'll have a break and then go back to Man City. I just want to enjoy my football."
