Gary Neville says ‘amazing’ £43m Man City star is genuinely ‘almost perfect’ at everything he does

Gary Neville has claimed that Manchester City have a player who is “almost perfect” at everything he does on a football pitch.

Over the years, Pep Guardiola has had several players at his disposal at the Etihad Stadium who lack too many glaring flaws in their game.

Names like David Silva, Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva spring to mind. When world-class players set such high standards, perfection is demanded from them by the masses as well.

However, the top players relish expectations from the public — even if that brings intense pressure and constant scrutiny.

At Manchester City, their main men deliver more often than not — regardless of the occasion.
