"Manchester United" former midfielder Nicky Butt has commented on rumors about Manchester City star Bernardo Silva's move to Old Trafford. In his opinion, the Portuguese footballer will not make a sensational transfer like Carlos Tevez. Although Silva's current contract is nearing its end, he does not want to move to the rival camp due to his loyalty to the club's blue side. Goal.com reports this.
Butt called Silva a perfect player for any team in the world, but emphasized that he would not fit into the Manchester United system. According to the former player, it will be difficult to field two creative midfielders at the same time due to the presence of Bruno Fernandes in the squad. Also, Silva has won all trophies under Pep Guardiola and does not want to risk his reputation.
Meanwhile, Butt recalled that Manchester United let defender John Stones slip away in his time. Negotiations were held with Stones during his years at the club, but ultimately the player chose Manchester City. Butt compared Stones to the legendary Rio Ferdinand and highly praised his ability to play in the center of the field.
Currently, 31-year-old Bernardo Silva is attracting interest from Spanish giants. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the main contenders for the player, who is expected to become a free agent. Manchester United, on the other hand, is focusing on finding other midfielders who can play alongside Fernandes.
