Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists he values James Milner.
Milner is showing Pellegrini he deserves more than just a supporting role.
"I'm not impressed because I know what James Milner can do," said the Chilean. "I think he's a player that always works 100 per cent every day, whether he's in the starting XI or not.
"He's a great professional. Maybe in the last year he didn't play as much as he wanted to because the level of Nasri and Navas was really important also but now he's demonstrating every game that he plays what he can give to our team.
"I am very happy for him."
