Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has backed his Portugal team-mate Bruno Fernandes to be a big success in the Premier League.
Fernandes had long been linked with a switch to the Red Devils before he completed his transfer from Sporting CP in the January window. The playmaker made his debut for the club in their 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
Silva has played alongside Fernandes frequently with the national team and speaking to Sky Sports, the City star said he thinks his compatriot will thrive in English football:
"I think he is going to adapt [to the Premier League], he has already played in Italy when he was younger, so it's not his first experience abroad.
