Fernandinho may be fighting for his place in Manchester City's starting XI after Rodrigo arrived from Atletico Madrid this summer, but it won't stop the Brazilian helping the player signed to eventually be his permanent replacement make the grade in the Premier League.
City paid Atleti a club-record fee of £62.8 million to secure Rodri and give Pep Guardiola another option for the vital holding role at the base of midfield. It's a position Fernandinho has made his own since moving to Manchester from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013.
However, Fernandinho is now 34 and 23-year-old Rodrigo offers a younger alternative for the future.
