HE’S the Premier League’s best-paid and arguably most silky-skilled star.
But Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne opted for the simplest of pleasures as he strolled with his family in a Cheshire village on a day off.

KDB made it even more plain as he wore matching grey tracksuit top and bottoms in his walk with wife Michelle.
De Bruyne was pushing two-year-old son Suri in a pram.
The couple, who have three kids, basked in the gentle sun and a goal-den glow from Saturday’s demolition of Liverpool.
The Belgium hero drilled City 2-1 up and then crossed for Jack Grealish to round off a 4-1 Prem win at the Etihad.
But De Bruyne looked reflective as he pushed a buggy on Tuesday.
Maybe that’s partly because champions City remain eight points behind leaders Arsenal, albeit with a game in hand.
But with the arrival of British Summer Time, KDB, as well as the clocks, has sprung forward as the 31-year-old regains his peak form.
Grealish’s purple patch might be one reason for that as the Englishman, for now at least, is overshadowing Pep Guardiola’s overseas brigade.
De Bruyne was snapped in his most comfy, casual attire outside a bus top.
But not even a bus in front of the goal would have stopped City outclassing Liverpool at the weekend.
Mo Salah’s shock opener for the eighth-placed Reds was shrugged aside as Guardiola’s men highlighted the gulf this term between last season’s top two.
That made the day for Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp as grey as KDB’s tracksuit.
De Bruyne has a glamorous life at times but is also happy with the simple stuff
