Kevin De Bruyne is set to join Newcastle Utd, jokes Steve Bruce
Kevin De Bruyne - Man City
Newcastle Utd boss Steve Bruce interrupted Kevin De Bruyne’s interview with City TV and joked that the Man City playmaker is set to stay at Newcastle Utd and sign for them.
It was an indication of how highly the Newcastle Utd boss rated Kevin De Bruyne who turned 29 on the match-day. The Belgian starred in Man City’s 2-0 victory of Newcastle Utd in the FA Cup quarter-finals and scored a goal from the penalty spot.
The Newcastle Utd boss seemed to be in a jovial mood after the defeat and interrupted Kevin De Bruyne during his interview with City TV and claimed “It’s an exclusive out of Newcastle tonight that he’s had enough of Manchester City and he’s going to play for Newcastle.”
Newcastle Utd are on the verge of being taken-over by Saudi’s crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman. The news of the take-over has linked Newcastle Utd with a lot of big names but this one was a prank by Steve. The last thing one of the finest midfielders in the World would have expected on his birthday was a public offer from the Newcastle Utd boss.
