Manchester City midfielder David Silva has named four former Manchester United players as part of his list when asked about the toughest opponents he has come up against.
Silva went on to name his toughest opponents he has come up against, and this included former Man Utd players Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary and Phil Neville.
The experienced Spaniard also revealed that Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany were among the most talented teammates he has played along side.
The 34-year-old joined Man City in the summer of 2010, and has helped his side to win four Premier League crowns.
David Silva will depart the Etihad this summer when his current contract is due to expire.
Speaking to CityTV , the Spaniard has now listed the most talented teammates he has played alongside.
He said: "Naming one would be unfair. In my team, Kun [ Aguero ] has scored a lot of goals and very important ones, Yaya [Toure]'s role was fundamental when he was at his peak, Vinnie [Kompany] because the hierarchy he had on the team and on the defence, Joe Hart too.
"When I first arrived, Joe, Gareth Barry, James Milner, Adam Johnson. They were great players, but they also made things easier for me, they really helped me to settle."
He continued: "I can name a lot of rivals too. [Frank] Lampard, who was my teammate too, his stats were amazing and he was a great man too. There are a lot of Spanish players too like Fernando Torres, Cesc [Fabregas], who has also done great things in the Premier League. Nowadays, it's Pedro and Cesar Azpilicueta.
"Players that are part of the competition like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, the Neville brothers. They are part of a big time at United and it was always tough when we faced them. They were all fantastic players and very passionate for their club and the national team too."
