Paul Merson has said on SportsKeeda that Manchester City attacker Bernardo Silva is better than Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United.
The former Arsenal star has said that Silva is the best Portuguese footballer in the Premier League at the moment and is even better than Manchester United forward Ronaldo.
Merson said on SportsKeeda: “I think Bernardo Silva’s the best Portuguese player in the Premier League at the moment.
“It isn’t even close, is it? Make no mistake – he’s never going to achieve the heights Ronaldo has scaled in his career.
“At the moment, however, you’d be hard-pressed to look past Bernardo Silva. With the talent Pep Guardiola has at his disposal, I’m going to go with a very comfortable victory for Manchester City.”
Bernardo Silva better than Cristiano Ronaldo?
Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time and is a goal machine.
Now, the 36-year-old has not been at his best this season, but the Portugal international is still scoring goals.
The former Real Madrid star has scored six goals and provided two assists in 10 Premier League starts for United so far this season.
In our view, Silva is having a wonderful season and is absolutely stunning in this precise moment of time.
The Manchester City no. 20 has scored seven goals and provided one assist in 14 Premier League matches so far this season.
Yes, Silva is great at the moment, but Ronaldo is evergreen.
Just imagine if the United forward scores five or six goals in his next two or three games.
Then everyone will start saying that Ronaldo is the best Portuguese footballer in the Premier League.
