De Bruyne to get Man City farewell in last home game

Departing midfielder Kevin de Bruyne will receive a farewell from Manchester City after his final home game against Bournemouth on Tuesday.

The Belgian announced last month he will leave City after 10 years when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The 33-year-old has won 16 trophies since joining from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg in 2015, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2023.

De Bruyne, though, missed the opportunity to bring his City career to a dream finish when they lost Saturday's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.

Manager Pep Guardiola did not confirm whether De Bruyne would start against Bournemouth, saying: "Kevin will get what he deserves. That is the best compliment for his incredible trajectory.

"What he has done with other legends in the club, it would not have been possible since Sheikh Mansour took over the club to reach another level."

The game will be his last at Etihad Stadium and he will be afforded a guard of honour from team-mates at coaches at full-time.

De Bruyne will give a short speech on the pitch and be presented with gifts by the wife and son of late club legend Colin Bell, before heading on a lap of appreciation with the other players.

City end the campaign with a trip to Fulham on Sunday (16:00 BST), which is likely to be De Bruyne's last game for the club.

The side compete in this summer's Club World Cup in the USA, which starts on 14 June, but De Bruyne said he "probably" will not play in the tournament for City as injury could scupper plans to find a new club.
