Darts wonderkid Luke Littler has now named Manchester City No.17 Kevin De Bruyne in his all-time best XI.
The 16-year-old shared the XI when collaborating with Transfermarkt.
So, who surrounds Kevin De Bruyne in Luke Littler‘s XI? Let’s take a look…
Luke Littler names Kevin De Bruyne in best XI
Well, the PDC World Darts Championship runner-up was asked to select the best eleven of players he has watched in his lifetime.
De Bruyne finds himself in midfield alongside Andres Iniesta and N’Golo Kante – opposition midfielders would have nightmares trying to handle this trio.
Ahead of the Belgium international are Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi, in what is a quite brilliant attack.
In defence, Littler went with Marcelo, Virgil van Dijk, Sergio Ramos and Dani Alves.
Manuel Neuer was also named in between the sticks in a 4-3-3 formation.
Littler – and Manchester City fans – have been unable to watch De Bruyne’s magic so far this season due to a serious hamstring injury, although he is closing in on a return to action.
The 32-year-old is also expected to come back stronger, having done a lot of upper body work according to Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur.
Kevin De Bruyne could soon leave Manchester City
Interestingly, the Belgian’s future at the Etihad Stadium is currently uncertain amid the rise of the Saudi Pro League.
According to Rudy Galetti, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia have made De Bruyne a key target for their next attack on the European transfer market, having already signed the likes of Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez.
The Italian journalist added that the 32-year-old playmaker is actually open to discussing a move to Saudi Arabia after the 2023/24 campaign ends.
Therefore – while we think an exit is unlikely to happen – this could be De Bruyne’s last season at Manchester City.
