“He has destroyed Arsenal and Leicester in a matter of days.
“Kevin de Bruyne now joins Liverpool’s Sadio Mane as another one of my early candidates for the PFA Players’ Player of the Year. In fact, I would put him ahead of Mane to win the award.
“Such pronouncements will not come as earth-shattering news to anyone who watches the Premier League on a regular basis.
“Nevertheless it has to be said that De Bruyne is playing scintillating football.”

“Kevin is unbelievable. He’s a world-class player and, with world-class players, they’ll find the space.
“You can block up spaces and be tight and organised, but the world-class players will find the space.
“It’s his level and mentality. To see it live, at that level and with that quality, was absolutely great.”
