But keeper Leno suggested the way Silva (circle) spoke to the players in the dressing room on the final day of the season - after their 2-0 home loss to Manchester City - gave him hope that the Portuguese plans to stay.

He said: “Marco's the main guy, he's a key factor in this football club. But of course, we know how football sometimes works.
