FIFA Club World Cup: Following Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne’s announcement that he will be leaving the club at the end of the current season. Mikel Arteta, who worked closely with the Belgian maestro during his time as assistant coach with the Cityzens, ranks De Bruyne as one of the best players in the Premier League.
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim joked about the 33-year-old having played on the wrong side of Manchester but admitted KDB has improved the English top division during his decade long tenure.
"I don't know if he's the one, the two or the three, but for me, he's one of the best players in the history of the Premier League, without a question about that. I've never seen, I've never played with a player that can execute that precisely at high speed. He can be running at 33, 34 kilometres an hour and play the ball 30 metres through two people to the perfect spot. I haven't seen anybody else do that at that pace," said Arteta in the press conference.
