Kevin De Bruyne has been voted the PFA Players’ Player of the year for the 2019-20 season, with the midfielder becoming the first Manchester City player to win the award since its inception in 1974.

De Bruyne beat out competition from four of Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning squad — Sadio Mane, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and last season’s winner, Virgil van Dijk — and City teammate Raheem Sterling to claim the honour.

The PFA award, which is voted for by players from all four divisions in the English game, is the second individual prize handed to De Bruyne for his contribution during the 2019-20 campaign. De Bruyne was named last month as the Premier League Player of the Season.

Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold claimed the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

The 21-year-old England international topped the vote ahead of fellow nominees Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Bukayo Saka.Kevin De Bruyne has been voted the PFA Players’ Player of the year for the 2019-20 season, with the midfielder becoming the first Manchester City player to win the award since its inception in 1974.
