England manager Gareth Southgate has been defiant over his desire to beat the Red Devils in Group G but his opposite number sounded a different tone
Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez does not believe beating England in Thursday's concluding Group G match is a priority for his team.
The Red Devils and the Three Lions have arrived in Kaliningrad with six points out of six and passage to the last 16 already secured.
Results elsewhere and the way the knockout draw has fallen so far have led to widespread suggestions the runner up out of England and Belgium would be in a better position to blaze a trail into the latter stages.
