Kevin De Bruyne labelled Liverpool as 'favourite team' in first ever interview as a child... as footage emerges of him scoring four goals in Belgian youth tie

Amazing footage has emerged of an 11-year-old Kevin De Bruyne in his first ever interview, on the day he scored four goals to help his side win a Belgian youth cup.

The now-Manchester City star, widely regarded as one of the best players in world football, showed plenty of early promise in the game as he lined up for Gent.

He netted four goals in his side's 6-2 win, including a goal from near the halfway line after the keeper had come well off his line.

Perhaps most interestingly, De Bruyne was interviewed at the side of the pitch and asked who he would like to play for if he were to make it as a professional footballer.
