Pep Guardiola has explained why and how Manchester City players voted David Silva as their new club captain.
Ahead of City’s first Premier League game of the season – they face West Ham on Saturday at 12.30pm – Guardiola said: “David Silva will be our club captain, then Fernandinho, Kevin [De Bruyne] and Sergio [Aguero]”
Silva, now 33 and entering his 10th season with City – has made 284 appearances for the club, scoring 54 goals and helping guide them to four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and four League Cups.
