'I can't understand why Manchester City players don't get the recognition they deserve': Bernardo Silva bemused at Kevin De Bruyne being snubbed for PFA Player of the Year

Bernardo Silva believes Manchester City stars are overlooked when it comes to top individual prizes within the game, highlighting Kevin De Bruyne's lack of personal triumphs.

De Bruyne has been a leading contender for PFA Player of the Year awards in the past since joining City in 2015, but he has always been pipped to the gong in the end.

Riyad Mahrez picked up the award after Leicester's stunning title win in 2016, while N'Golo Kante claimed the accolade a year later following a sensational debut season for Chelsea.
