The Portuguese who is currently better than Cristiano Ronaldo, according to a former England international

Cristiano Ronaldo is the undisputed star of the current Manchester United squad. He is also considered one of the best footballers in the Premier League in the current season. However, critics believe that there is another player who is above the top scorer in the history of Real Madrid.

After concluding the day of the weekend in the English championship, the analysts met in one of the programs of the medium Talksport to discuss the good and the bad of the date. Then, Jack Wilshere, ex Arsenal, declared that Bernardo Silva, of Manchester City, is a rung above ‘CR7’.

“Cristiano Ronaldo the best Portuguese? Right now the best is Bernardo Silva. I see him above all others “, expressed the old international with England. Of course, the 29-year-old athlete, currently as a free agent, clarified that the ‘Citizens’ midfielder is still far from achieving everything his compatriot obtained in a long career.

“I am not saying that I am better than Cristiano Ronaldo after everything he has done in his career, but if the game were tomorrow, I would choose Bernardo Silva for my team”, ‘SuperJack’ Wilshere ruled on the player who scored a double against Watford and allowed Pep Guardiola’s cast to rise to the top of the Premier League.

In general, the 10 of the ‘Citizens’ has marked a total of seven conquests and gave an assistance in the local contest. While in the Champions League he distributed a goal pass. Likewise, the Portuguese has been named the best player of the month for the third consecutive time thanks to the vote of all the fans.

On his side, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored six times and provided two assists with the Manchester United jersey in the current Premier League. In turn, in ‘his’ tournament (the Champions League), ‘CR7’ has celebrated six times, but has yet to close the pass of the ‘Red Devils’ as the leaders of the area.

Fernando Santos, the great beneficiary

Regardless of the comparisons, it is the Portugal coach who rubs his hands for the great moment of Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo. The same thing also happens with Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo or Joao Felix, whom he needs to overcome the European play-off to Qatar in 2022. The Portuguese team collides first with Turkey and if it happens, with the winner of Italy-Macedonia.
