GRAEME SOUNESS: 'Unstoppable' Kevin De Bruyne has left his mark on the English game... and the one boss who should beat fabulous Nuno Espirito Santo to Manager of the Season prize

In 25 years' time, when the name Kevin De Bruyne comes up in Manchester City conversations, they will be talking about him as one of their greatest ever players and a major part in the success of the glory years.

I believe he was the best midfield player in the Premier League for a good five years. In time, supporters will reflect on him saying: 'You should have seen him play'.

He suffered an initial set-back at Chelsea when Jose Mourinho sold him to Wolfsburg. He had the talent but Jose obviously felt he didn't have the mentality but, when he came back to England, Manchester City saw a player who had everything.
