The Manchester City talisman has talked up the talents of a fellow countryman who has made a bright start to his career at the Theatre of Dreams
Bernardo Silva has described Bruno Fernandes as a "great player" who is capable of being a "leader" at Manchester United, ahead of Manchester City's arrival at Old Trafford this weekend.
United forked out €55 million (£48m/$62m) to sign the highly-rated Portugal international from Sporting in January, and he has already begun to justify that fee with a string of outstanding performances.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have yet to taste defeat with Fernandes pulling the strings in midfield, recording four wins from their last seven games in all competitions.
