Manchester United great Paul Scholes has sung the praises of Manchester City ace Kevin de Bruyne.

De Bruyne was again outstanding in victory over United on Sunday.

Scholes said: "Kevin is the best midfielder in the Premier League and possibly the world.

"I can't think of anyone who comes close to his level. He can do absolutely everything.

"It's okay to have players who pass well and have good ball possession, but he also scores goals, creates chances, defends the net and throws incredible passes. Every time he has the ball, he thinks about a goal."
