Manchester City fullback Danilo is pleased to see Vinicius Junior living up to his hype at Real Madrid.

Former Real defender Danilo left the Spanish giants 18 months ago.

He told Radio Marca of Vinicius: "He's a kid with a lot of future, since he came to Madrid I watch his matches and I see how each match he grows, he's a typical Brazilian player who dribbles you easily and I think he's going to have many years at Real Madrid."

Danilo was also asked about his former teammate Brahim Diaz, now at Real.

"He is a very special kid, good person and hard worker, he listens a lot and has incredible quality, we saw him in training, it was very difficult to stop him, we had to give him a 'stick' to be calm."
