Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola lauded Bernardo Silva’s outstanding performance in the 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the derby, describing him as an incredible player for the club. Bernardo played a key role in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford, providing the assist for Erling Haaland’s goal and being named the man of the match, despite Haaland’s two goals and an assist. After the match, Guardiola praised the Portuguese international for his adaptability, intelligence, and simple lifestyle off the field. Guardiola said, He doesn’t have any tattoos or a fancy car – he is an incredible player for us. He loves playing at Old Trafford. He’s played as a false 9 in the past and has the ability to make many passes. He further added, He is so intelligent – everyone loves him, and it was another exceptional performance. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve trained a lot, and he’s one of the best. Erling Haaland scored twice and provided an assist as Manchester City claimed victory in the derby against Manchester United. Haaland scored a first-half penalty and completed his brace with a header early in the second half before setting up Phil Foden for the third goal. Guardiola expressed his delight with his team’s performance and highlighted Haaland’s second goal as a pivotal moment in the game. City is currently third on the Premier League table with 24 points, level with Arsenal.
