Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester City playmaker, Kevin De Bruyne, has picked Manchester United\u2019s Cristiano Ronaldo as his dream teammate ahead of Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

De Bruyne stated this in an interview with Wow Hydrate.<\/p>\n

The Belgium international was asked whether he would like to play with Messi or Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

And he responded, \u201cI would probably say Ronaldo because he\u2019s more of a typical striker.<\/p>\n

\u201cMessi is still more of a playmaker. I am a playmaker, so you can give me a striker!\u201d<\/p>\n

De Bruyne has had an excellent season with Manchester City as they look to retain their Premier League title this Sunday when they face Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old has scored 19 goals and registered 13 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions for Pep Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
