Manchester City defender and former Real Madrid man Danilo praised the Brazilian teenager Vinicius Junior’s abilities.

The 18-year-old has breathed life into Madrid’s pallid attack ever since he was integrated into the starting line-up.

Danilo believes that the teenager is getting better in every match he plays for Los Blancos.

“He is a kid with a bright future and I’ve been watching his matches since he came to Real Madird,” he said in an interview with Radio MARCA.

“I see that he grows in each match.

Danilo believes that his compatriot has the Brazilian DNA that enables him to turn around and dribble past players very easily.

“He is a typical Brazilian player, who can dribble past you with ease.

“I think he’ll be at Real Madrid for many years,” Danilo said.

Vinicius will be a player to watch out for as Real Madrid take on Girona in the Copa Del Rey quarterfinals later on Thursday.
