Kevin de Bruyne forces Pep Guardiola into rare admission over Man City's "incredible talent"

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made a rare admission over "incredible talent" Kevin de Bruyne.
De Bruyne, the club's longest-serving player, has now been at City for seven years. The midfielder joined the Blues from Wolfsburg in 2015 and has been instrumental to the club's recent success.
