Man City duo Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden tipped for prestigious awards

A former England international has backed Kevin de Bruyne to win PFA Players’ Player of the year and Phil Foden to claim the Young Player of the year accolade.

The pair have already picked up awards in the Premier League’s end of season honours, both receiving their respective prizes for the second time in their careers. De Bruyne is pitted against Virgil van Dijk, Harry Kane, Sadio Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mo Salah for the top PFA award this time around.

The Belgian lifted his fourth Premier League title in May after enjoying his highest-scoring City season with 19 goals — four of which came in one match against Wolves towards the end of the campaign. Likewise, Foden clasped his hands on the league crown again, chipping in with 14 goals and 11 assists.
