# Man City: Fans love Ruben Dias comments

**A number of Manchester City fans are delighted with comments from defender Ruben Dias.**

The Citizens completed the signing of the 24-year-old from Benfica last summer for the fee of £65m ([BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54331554)) and he has proven to be an outstanding capture for Pep Guardiola.

So far this season, he has made 47 appearances in all competitions for the club ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ruben-dias/leistungsdaten/spieler/258004)) and has been a rock at the heart of the back four. Such has been the level of his performances that he has even been [tipped to be named the Premier League’s Player of the Season](https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-jamie-carragher-backs-ruben-dias-to-win-pfa-player-of-the-year-award-20210205).

It seems that the £63m-valued centre-back ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ruben-dias/marktwertverlauf/spieler/258004)) also doesn’t lack any confidence in himself, either. [During a recent interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NukEbCBE_H8), he was asked for his view as to who is the best ever Portuguese defender. With little hesitation, he mentioned himself, even above the likes of the [decorated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ricardo-carvalho/erfolge/spieler/9828) Ricardo Carvalho.

Dias’ comments were [shared on Twitter by @City\_Chief](https://twitter.com/City_Chief/status/1393697383343706112) and they attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters. These took to the social media platform to revel in the 24-year-old’s self-affirmation.
