Paul Scholes has conceded that Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne is probably the best midfielder in the world.
It may well have been a hard pill to swallow for the Manchester United legend, who witnessed his former club ripped to shreds by the brilliant Belgian as City dominated Sunday's Manchester derby with a 4-1 win. It was De Bruyne who opened the scoring with a fine finish after just four minutes and he scored again to restore City's lead after Jadon Sancho had equalised.
The second half got even worse for United and De Bruyne was once again devastating as he set up Riyad Mahrez to volley home the third. The Algerian would also double his own tally late on to rub salt into their neighbour's wounds.
