Danilo - Manchester City (Right-back)

Manchester City v Burnley - The Emirates FA Cup Third Round
Danilo has been mostly used as a makeshift left-back by Pep Guardiola this season

Signed in the July of 2017 from Real Madrid for £26.5 million, Brazilian right-back Danilo has mostly played the role of an understudy to Kyle Walker who has been preferred for that spot in the starting eleven by manager Pep Guardiola.

Danilo has started only eight games for the Manchester outfit in the Premier League out of a total of 15 appearances and most of them have been in the left-back spot. Apart from scoring a world-class goal against Burnley from outside of the penalty box, the Brazilian hasn't managed to make many headlines.

Danilo boasts of a poor crossing accuracy of 13 percent and has only managed a total of four successful dribbles in the Premier League so far. In fact, most of his playing time has come as a result of injuries to Benjamin Mendy and makeshift left-back Fabian Delph.

It goes without saying that the former Porto player is not an important figure at the Etihad.
