Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has hit out at the Professional Footballers' Association over their Premier League Team of the Year.
The Portugal international was included in last season's selection yet has bemoaned the PFA for the omission of multiple City players.
Despite clinching the league title last season, the Cityzens only had three players in the team, while second-placed Liverpool boasted six.
The Reds' manager Jurgen Klopp also pipped Man City boss Pep Guardiola to the PFA Manager of the Year Award - and a disgruntled Silva could not understand the reasoning behind the City snubs.
Speaking to ESPN, Silva said: 'Checking the Premier League Team of the Year every year and we never have the most players.
'We don't have the best manager, don't have the best players, but we still win four Premier Leagues in five years. It just doesn't make sense.'
There were a number of notable omissions from the City side, with Aymeric Laporte, Rodri and Phil Foden all enjoying stunning campaigns with the Cityzens.
Silva has been included in the team twice during his five-year spell at the Etihad, receiving the accolade in 2018-19 and last season.
The midfielder boasted 12 goal contributions in 35 Premier League outings last term as City lifted the title on the final day.
Yet uncertainty looms over his future in Manchester, with Barcelona manager Xavi identifying the 28-year-old as a key target this summer.
Silva made a 12 minute cameo in City's 2-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday, after Guardiola opted to deploy Ilkay Gundogan in a more advanced role alongside Kevin De Bruyne.
And the midfielder refused to rule out a potential departure from the Etihad amid the interest from the Blaugrana.
Silva said: 'I've always said that I'm happy here but I have no idea what's going to happen. We'll see, honestly.
'My relationship with the club is very honest. I've been open with them and they know what I want.
'If I stay, I'm very happy and I will always respect this club and give all my best. If not, it's football and we'll just see what happens.
Manchester City were forced to deny claims that they had accepted a bid from Barca for Silva, and the Portugal international will undoubtedly be instrumental to the Cityzens' fight on four fronts this season.

That's excellent Silva. Open up and tell them, the world is watching them. They are some bunch of biased and hypocritically subjective. How do you set the criteria? Starts or trophies? The citizens have it all. You can't give best to a near looser and leave the champion. A looser is a looser and will be termed BEST, no matter what happened. I can see only Salah, Arnold and VVD deserve a place in the EPL list, then you add Son and Keane, the rest positions must be reserved for the champions plus of course, the coach. SHAME ON EPL authorities... Your bias will only motivate them.

They do not love Man City. It is Liverpool and Manchester United they love. They are always bias towards City

Nothing surprises me anymore when Kevin De Bruyne won EPL best player ahead of salah last season. Son and Mane was not among EPL Best player nominees. Foden won EPL young best player ahead of Saka and Mount. . . So I no longer Believe in personal Awards in the EPL only UEFA and FIFA is the one I always look up to even though slightly corruption has entered both UEFA and FIFA. . . As a professional Footballer just play your game and win titles make your money and forget about personal Awards
