David Silva: I see myself in City youngster Manu Garcia

Manchester City midfielder David Silva has admitted that he sees many similarities between him and youngster Manu Garcia.

Garcia, a fellow Spaniard, is considered to be one of the club’s top young talents and scored his first goal for the club this season in the Capital One Cup demolition of Palace in October.

Patrick Vieira, the recently outgoing EDS coach, has praised Garcia extensively in recent times.

And now Silva has heaped praise on the 17-year old, who has been mentioned as a heir to Silva’s throne.

Silva told reporters:

Manu is a guy I really like. His attitude is like how I was when I was his age. Apart from that, in terms of football ability, he’s got very good skills.

He’s very young and I’m sure there’s a lot to come.
