Bernardo Silva: 'Claiming title against Manchester United would be special'

Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva admits that it would be "special" should the Sky Blues wrap up the Premier League title when they face Manchester United.

Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva has talked up the prospect of being able to see his side crowned Premier League champions when they face Manchester United.

The Sky Blues have made light work of the English top flight this term and should coming results go their way, City could take the league title when they face fierce rivals United at the Etihad Stadium next month.

"It would be special for the fans, because there's a big rivalry between the two clubs," Silva told reporters ahead of City's clash with Stoke City on Monday.

"We just want to win the competition because it means a lot, and if you can win it against a big rival, it's even more special. If you'd told me in August we'd arrive in March with a 16-point advantage over second place, I wouldn't have believed you. So it means we're doing an amazing job.

"Normally the Premier League is so competitive, with six clubs fighting for the title. So to have so many points and be so far ahead of the other opponents is great."

City have already won the EFL Cup this term and are still on course for a treble after remaining in the running for the Champions League too.
