Belgium manager Roberto Martinez believes a fresh Kevin De Bruyne will be even better for club and country this season after the Manchester City midfielder tore Scotland apart in a 4-0 win for Martinez’s men on Monday.
De Bruyne set up Romelu Lukaku, Thomas Vermaelen and Toby Alderweireld to score inside the first 32 minutes before capping a brilliant individual display by rounding off the scoring.
Belgium and City had to cope without the 28-year-old for most of last season due to two major knee injuries.
But De Bruyne has started the season like a man keen to make up for lost time.
“He has started the season in a fresh manner and you can see his exceptional quality. For me he is the best playmaker in world football,” said Martinez.
“Playmakers used to stop the play to make the pass, he can execute that pass on the move. You saw him fresh, full of responsibility and he’s having a very influential role.”
De Bruyne will be a key figure for the Red Devils if Belgium are to deliver on their enormous potential by winning next year’s European championships.
