Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has named two rival players from Manchester City as the Premier League's top performers over the last half-decade.
Rashford is coming off the back of a career-best season with the Red Devils, scoring 30 goals in all competitions during Erik ten Hag's first campaign in charge.
Under the guidance of the Dutchman, Man Utd enjoyed one of their most successful seasons of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, finishing third in the Premier League and winning the Carabao Cup to end their six-year trophy drought.
However, they were beaten by Man City to a second piece of silverware at Wembley. Ilkay Gundogan scored the quickest goal in the history of FA Cup finals before Bruno Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot, only for the German midfielder to ice the game after half-time.
Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, Rashford couldn't hide his admiration for Man City duo Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.
When asked who he thought the best player in the Premier League was, Rashford replied: "Last season it was definitely Haaland, but I think over the last four or five years, De Bruyne, 100%."

Since joining Man City in 2015, De Bruyne has scored 64 goals and provided 104 assists in 239 Premier League games, averaging a contribution every 109 minutes.
