"Kevin De Bruyne made the Premier League better"

Kevin de Bruyne has been one of the biggest stars of the best Manchester City side in history, one that has seen his neighbours the Red Devils overshadowed for the past decade. 

However, some Manchester United players do not hold a grudge, as is the case of Bruno Fernandes. In fact, the Portuguese star praised the Belgian midfielder after he announced on Friday that he would leave the Sky Blues at the end of the season.

Fernandes said after the goalless draw at Manchester Derby that De Bruyne had made the English top flight “better” and that he is one of the main reasons behind Manchester City's recent triumphs.

"Kevin De Bruyne made the Premier League better. If Man City is where they are and Manchester United hasn't won as many trophies in this period, it's also because of Kevin De Bruyne. He deserves all the credit, he's done fantastic," he told 'Sky Sports'.
