That was the best decision Ive ever made in football.Silva, 32, has been in Manchester for eight-and-a-half years winning threePremier League titles and League Cups, as well as the FA Cup, along the way.And under current boss, Pep Guardiola, Silva says he is performing to the best of his ability while admitting he struggled with the transition at first.
