Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne says he'd improve playing alongside Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo.

De Bruyne has already laid on 16 goals for his teammates this season, as he has taken his game to a level that he sees as even more "complete" as he strives to improve.

Discussing potential strikers he'd love to play with, he told Sky Sports: "Maybe somebody like Thierry Henry, or even somebody like Cristiano.

"For me, a creative player, he's going to be there.

"I'm somebody who's quick, who can go deep, that helps me a lot.

"You can play with magnificent midfielders, but strikers, for what I do, are probably the main importance.

"So I would say maybe Cristiano, or Thierry Henry."
