Two goals, an assist and a three-star performance, Kevin De Bruyne was once again brilliant in the Manchester derby against the Red Devils. So that the English press rolled out the red carpet for him in its Monday edition. On the set of Super Sunday on Sky Sports, Jamie Redknapp compared the Red Devil to Paul Scholes, “the perfect midfielder”.
The latter also commented on Kevin De Bruyne’s performance. And the least we can say is that he is under the spell of the Manchester City midfielder for whom he is full of praise: “I can’t name anyone who can approach him”commented on the former glory of Manchester United, the great rival of the Citizens, who was also one of the best midfielders in the world in his time. “Kevin does everything on a football pitch. It’s great to see footballers who can pass well and hold onto the ball, but this guy scores goals, defends, his passes are brilliant…”
“De Bruyne has, in fact, everything a world-class midfielder should have. He is the best midfielder in the Premier League, and probably in the world”continued Scholes who has 713 games with Manchester United throughout his career.
Former glory of the Red Devils, Paul Scholes is also under the spell of the great Mancunian rival: “Manchester City have three or four players of De Bruyne’s caliber… For example, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden. They have an exceptional team and danger can come from anywhere”must admit the former midfielder who only has eyes for our compatriot, “But De Bruyne… Every time he gets the ball he’s already thinking about the goal. Either scoring himself or giving an assist. It’s just a fantastic attitude.”
