Former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness has questioned Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's handling of Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgium midfielder endured a difficult World Cup despite being in fine form pre-tournament. Since returning from the World Cup, De Bruyne has struggled at times and has found himself out of the starting XI on a number of occasions.
Speaking about his star midfielder's form this week, Guardiola said: "What I'd like - I spoke many times to him - is to go [back] to the easy principles and do it well. He has an incredible ability to make an assist, to score goals and see passes like no one else.
