After handing Maguire his shirt, he said: "Take some points off the big boys for us!"
Pep Guardiola spoke about De Bruyne's brilliance, saying he needs to win silverware to be considered the best.

"But how he played against Leicester it is hard to find better in Europe.
"It is not just one game, it is all season and every three days that he is playing that way.

"I am very pleased with the way everything is going for me. The way the team is playing makes it easier for me and for them. At the end, if you get an individual honour it is beautiful.
Meanwhile, Maguire is reportedly a transfer target for Manchester City.
The club are believed to be keen on the England defender despite shelling out £57 million for Aymeric Laporte in January.

Maguire, 24, is also attracting interest from Manchester United. Jose Mourinho is keen on bolstering his defence once the summer market reopens.
