Roma coach Jose Mourinho has declared Manchester City defender Ruben Dias as the best in the world.

Dias' first season at Man City has ended spectacularly as the FWA Footballer of the Year added the Premier League Player of the Year Award to his already impressive collection.

Mourinho, discussing Portugal's Euros hopes, told The Sun: “Ruben Dias is the best centre back in the world now.

“With his move to the Premier League with Manchester City, he is getting a different level of knowledge.

“He is a fantastic centre back. And the one next to him, Pepe, a 38-year-old with a lot of experience. That can be a strength for Portugal as they then have lots of talented players in attack."
