PFA officially announced: Manchester City’s midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was elected as PFA Player of the Year.
In this competition, Kevin De Bruyne defeated Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Jordan Henderson, Mane and his teammate Raheem Sterling.
De Bruyne was seen as the outstanding individual talent in a season which was dominated by the team displays of champions Liverpool, who ended up winning the league by 18 points from second-placed City.
Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold did however pick up the award for the PFA Young Player of the Year, beating England youngsters Tammy Abraham, Mason Greenwood, Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka to the prize.
City trailed the Reds by an eventual 18 points in the 2019/20 Premier League campaign but De Bruyne, who registered 13 goals and a record-equalling 20 assists, was voted the campaign’s top performer by his peers and was quick to thank his manager for handing him full creative licence.
