<p>On Friday morning, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-official-midfielder-confirms-leave-man-city-emotional-message-fans/blt539077ebbba59885" target="_blank">De Bruyne announced his departure from City</a> after having played with the Premier League giants for the last 10 years. The Belgian is rated as one of the, if not the best, midfielders to have graced English football, having won 16 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>United have always found it difficult to contend with De Bruyne's class and ability on the field over the years. However, Red Devils boss Amorim has put aside rivalries and paid tribute to the departing Premier League legend as he joked the Belgian played for the 'wrong side of Manchester'.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the media, Amorim said: "He was like one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. The time passes for everyone, so that is a natural thing. </p><p>"He was on the wrong side of Manchester! I wish him good luck, it was a pleasure to see him in Portugal a lot of times. I hope he enjoys the rest of his life."</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>The Belgian will be hopeful that he can end his illustrious City career with a trophy, as the Citizens look to win the FA Cup this season, snatching it from their city rivals, United, who won the trophy last season.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR DE BRUYNE?
