‘Dias has hit the ground running’ – £62m Man City defender frightens opponents, says Onuoha

Ruben Dias has “hit the ground running” at Manchester City and has Premier League rivals running scared, says Nedum Onuoha.

The Blues invested £62 million ($84m) in another centre-half during the summer transfer window. Dias was lured away from Benfica and added to a talent pool at Etihad Stadium that had been crying out for inspiration at the heart of their back four.

The commanding 23-year-old has delivered an immediate return on such a sizeable investment with a productive partnership being struck up with the rejuvenated John Stones.
