The wife of Manchester City and Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has been slammed by local Mancunian restauranteurs after she hammered the local culinary scene.

Italian Sara Gundogan, who has half a million followers on Instagram, opened up after being asked about her favourite local restaurant – to which she offered a brutal assessment.

She claimed that "horrible food" is served everywhere in Manchester – and that she can't find a real Italian anywhere.

Asked to name her favourite restaurant in Manchester, she replied: "Sorry, I’m sad to be honest but nothing. I tried so bad to find a good restaurant but horrible food everywhere.

"Can’t find a real Italian or good sushi or just fresh food . . . everywhere frozen."

She added that the venues are "focusing on making money with drinks" rather than "quality food".

But all was not lost for the rest of the UK, as she said: "Maybe in London but in Manchester nothing. I’m sorry."

In response to the comments, food critic Jay Rayner said: “This is a ludicrous point of view. Manchester’s packed full of brilliant, independent restaurants."

A local restaurant owner added: "There’s so many great restaurants in Manchester. I suggest you do research before you speak."

Former MasterChef winner Simon Martin told The Sun : "The idea that restaurants here only serve frozen food is obviously preposterous."

But Sara hit back: "So because we are successful people we can’t give an honest opinion?

"I tried all the best restaurants here but for me it’s a no. I can’t lie. Unfortunately I’m used to Italy so you can imagine it’s hard to compare.

"It’s a great city, great people but not for restaurants."

Gundogan, 31, has been based in Manchester since his 2016 move from Borussia Dortmund to City. He is now club captain and led the team during their 5-0 win over FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night.
