‘Well done KDB’, ‘Imagine if he get’s a proper sleep’ – Man City Fans react as De Bruyne had last laugh over United supporting mates

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was happy to get the last laugh over his Manchester United-supporting mates after Sunday’s derby.

The Manchester City playmaker scored twice and was player of the match as the Premier League leaders thrashed their neighbours 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The victory restored the champions’ six-point lead at the top and gave Belgium star De Bruyne extra reason to look forward to returning home, where he had been hosting visitors over the weekend.

“I had a load of friends come over from Belgium and three were United fans, so they were trying to keep me awake all night, so I wouldn’t sleep the night before!” laughed City’s midfield ace.

“Now I can go home and have a good laugh with them. It’s banter – but I’m obviously very happy.”

These De Bruyne’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
