Kevin De Bruyne received a Man United shirt with his name on the back, his reaction was priceless

Kevin De Bruyne had a priceless reaction after being handed a Manchester United shirt.

The Manchester City midfielder cut United apart and laid on two assists in the 6-3 hammering at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Both were for goal machine Erling Haaland, with the second a trademark wondrous cross for the Norwegian to acrobatically stab home at the far post.

But the Belgian maestro has gone viral after receiving the shirt of his rivals - and responding quite brilliantly.

The shirt was not only this season's home jersey, it also came complete with 'De Bruyne 17' on the back.

The 31-year-old couldn't help but laugh and proceeded to ask, "Do I burn it now?". He then added, "Most dreams are deception, right?".

Although polite as ever, De Bruyne also did a "cutting neck" hand gesture to further show his disapproval of the gift he had just been given.

The shirt was presented to De Bruyne by Mid Mid podcast, from the Belgian channel Play Sports.

But while he wasn't all that impressed, reports say he did have a United shirt in his clutches on Sunday - having made a request for Cristiano Ronaldo's shirt.

A "beaming" De Bruyne was spotted leaving the Etihad with Ronaldo's No.7 shirt and added the item to his collection.

Although Ronaldo's stock has dropped and he has started just once in the Premier League this term, he's clearly still valued by De Bruyne.

In 2017, tunnel cam footage captured De Bruyne swapping shirts with Wolves younger Connor Ronan.

The midfielder had got De Bruyne's top and was shocked when De Bruyne asked for his in return, asking, "You want my shirt?".

De Bruyne, who has eight assists in the Premier League, was rested for the 5-0 win over Copenhagen in midweek but will no doubt return to the fold for City's visit of Southampton on Saturday.
