Graeme Souness slams Man City star Kevin De Bruyne over 'too old' comments about Belgium teammates

Graeme Souness has lambasted Kevin De Bruyne for his 'totally unnecessary' comments about Belgium before the World Cup.

Romelu Lukaku missed four absolute sitters late on and left the pitch in tears before punching the perspex glass of a dugout. The Red Devils have been uninspiring throughout the group stages as they only narrowly edged past Canada in their opening match before losing to eventual table-toppers Morocco.

Manchester City star De Bruyne has come in for criticism throughout the tournament after his comments before it got underway when he disparaged his nation's chances of winning.
