Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has paid tribute to Kevin De Bruyne, claiming that the Belgian is capable of "absolutely everything" on the football pitch.
De Bruyne has scored five times and provided 11 assists in 21 appearances for City in all competitions this season.
The 26-year-old will again be looking to impress in Sunday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford as City attempt to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 11 points.
Guardiola has said that De Bruyne's ability to produce in the difficult moments are what sets him apart from many others.
"He can do everything on the pitch. And, in terms of mentality as well, he never hides," Guardiola told Sky Sports News. "The big players you realise in the bad moments, the bad moments in terms of 75 minutes, we are losing, how you react in that situation.
"With 4-0 everybody is a top-class player, the important time is when you are in the bad moments. I think he is world class because he can do absolutely everything."
City paid Wolfsburg £55m to sign De Bruyne in the summer of 2015.
