'Man City have grown worldwide & Guardiola has improved us in every position' - Silva reflects on a decade of change

David Silva says Pep Guardiola has improved Manchester City in every position “from the goalkeeper to the forward”.

The Spanish playmaker has been reflecting on his 10 years at the club, as he prepares to say his farewell to Manchester.

Silva will leave City at the end of the season, with just one more Premier League fixture and the Champions League still to play.

He has spent the last four seasons under Guardiola after previously playing for Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini, and he has enjoyed his role under the Catalan.

Asked by DAZN Spain how Guardiola had changed his game, Silva said: “I don’t know, he changed my position, now I have more contact with the ball than when I played as a winger.
