Bernardo Silva on being Man City's next David Silva, learning how to play with Sterling & Foden's frustrations

Bernardo Silva says that comparisons between him and David Silva are unfair on the latter due to his long and illustrious career, admitting that the Spaniard will leave some "very big shoes to fill" when he leaves Manchester City.

The Portugal star also revealed that it took time for him to be able to learn how Raheem Sterling operates as a playmaker for the Premier League champions and that he understands Phil Foden's impatience for more game time.

City captain Silva has previously confirmed that his current and 10th campaign at the club will be his last, with the 33-year-old having been linked with a move to David Beckham's Major League Soccer expansion team Inter Miami.
