Micah Richards raves about ‘outstanding’ Bernardo Silva after Manchester City beat Manchester United
Branded as ‘irreplaceable’ by Pep Guardiola, the Portuguese international reminded the world of why he remains a truly elite player.
Grabbing an assist for Erling Haaland’s second goal to cap off a sensational outing, the five-time Premier League winner ran the show, whether it be out wide or in midfield at Old Trafford.
After Manchester City took Manchester United to the cleaners on Sunday, Micah Richards showered Bernardo Silva with praise.
“But Bernardo is just different level. Gary [Neville] summed him up perfectly and his attitude and not only that, he works so hard for the team. Not only on the ball but off the ball, he’s outstanding. He’s the perfect player for this system”, he said.
Bernardo Silva loves the Manchester Derby
As Micah Richards beamed about the Bernardo Silva masterclass, it was yet another tremendous showing for him against the Red Devils since his arrival at Manchester City in 2017.
The former AS Monaco technician is known to raise his levels on the biggest of stages and against the best of teams.
But against United in particular, the 29-year-old’s track record is impeccable, especially away from home.
Once again, Bernardo Silva made life hell for the hosts, as he dovetailed alongside Jack Grealish to cause mayhem on the left-wing.
While in midfield, the versatile attacker toyed with the opposition from the first and second phases of play.
If there is a current Manchester City player that relishes the Manchester Derby, it is certainly Bernardo Silva.
