David Silva "happy" with Manuel Pellegrini

Manchester City playmaker David Silva insists that he is "happy" with Manuel Pellegrini as his manager, despite speculation linking Pep Guardiola to the job this summer.

Manchester City midfielder David Silva has insisted that he and his teammates are "happy" playing under manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Pellegrini's future has been the subject of fierce debate in recent weeks, with City's hierarchy thought to be desperate to land Pep Guardiola after the Spaniard confirmed that he will be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

The 62-year-old has insisted that questions over the continued links between Guardiola and City do not bother him, and Silva has lent his support to the Chilean ahead of Monday night's crunch match with title rivals Arsenal.

"We are all very happy with Manuel and it is not something we look at. We look at the day today and not what is going to happen in the summer," he told reporters.

City currently sit third in the Premier League table, but victory at the Emirates on Monday night would see them leapfrog Arsenal into second and move three points behind surprise leaders Leicester City.
