Kevin De Bruyne has been handed a very special gift after the city derby against Manchester United (6-3). The 31-year-old playmaker of Manchester City received from Sam Kerkhofs, a Belgian presenter, a shirt from the arch-rival with his name and number on the back. De Bruyne, who gave two assists to Erling Haaland in the derby, then laughed.
“Do I have to burn it now?”, the 93-time Belgian international wondered aloud. Kerkhofs poked fun at De Bruyne and put the words ‘it’s a dream’ in his mouth. “Most dreams are deception, aren’t they?” the midfielder responded with a laugh. However, the Belgian did go home with a United shirt after the derby won. De Bruyne exchanged match shirts with Cristiano Ronaldo, who spent ninety minutes on the bench with Erik ten Hag’s team.
