MANCHESTER -- Kevin De Bruyne says he doesn't want personal honours unless he's winning trophies with Manchester City.

The Belgium international midfielder is already being talked about as an early frontrunner for the Player of the Year award after starting the season in sparkling form for City.

Pep Guardiola said he needs to win a title to be considered among the best and De Bruyne, who was named German Player of the Year when he was with Wolfsburg in 2015, told ESPN FC he is more interested in team trophies.

"It's nice to have it but I prefer it after we have a title," De Bruyne told ESPN FC as Manchester City announced details for their very first SkillCity national final being held in Pomona, California on Saturday, Dec.
