'It makes me feel good' - Man City star Dias delighted to be among Player of the Year favourites

After making a big impact following his move from Benfica, the Portuguese defender is expected to be on the shortlist for this season's awards

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias says he is flattered to be considered among the favourites for the Player of the Year awards but insists his focus is on winning trophies.

Dias is yet to win a trophy with the club but has the chance to claim his first medal on Sunday when City face Tottenham in the final of the Carabao Cup.
