Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has likened teammate Erling Haaland to Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bernardo reckons Haaland has the kind of predatory instincts he has only seen before in Portugal teammate Ronaldo.

The former Monaco man said: "I was speaking with a few friends the other day and I said he is the only player who gets close to Cristiano in terms of knowing where the ball will land inside the box.

"He's got that smell of knowing where it lands and he's so quick and strong, which is not easy for the defenders.

"Can he reach the same standards? Well, I'm playing with Erling so I hope so but the standards are so high.

"Cristiano has won five Ballon d'Ors, five Champions Leagues.

"You never know what will happen in the future. Erling's still very young, still got a lot to do but the mentality is there, so yes."
