​Monaco's Silva gives Man Utd, Man City hope - claims he wants to play for 'big club'

Manchester United target Bernardo Silva has admitted that he would be open to leaving Monaco to play for a bigger club.

Bernardo Silva is arguably one of the best young midfield players in Europe at the moment and the Portuguese international has often been linked with a big money move to Premier League giants Manchester United and Manchester City.

In an apparent boost to the rivals hopes of signing Silva, the midfielder has admitted that he is now open to leaving Monaco and has hinted that he would like to play in a bigger team.

"I am finishing my third season in Monaco, who gave me the opportunity to play at a higher level," he told Portuguese TV station SIC.

"But of course, every player dreams of playing for the best teams and in the best divisions one day. I'm no exception."
