DAVID Silva thanks Manchester United rival Ryan Giggs for putting him on track to become a success in English football.
Manchester City star Silva and United legend Giggs may be separated in training by a few acres of old potato fields at their Carrington HQs.
But they are united by the art of yoga – the secret to longevity in a game of bone-jarring challenges.
Silva has followed Giggsy’s fitness routine on his DVD and has the same personal trainer, Sarah Ramsden.
