Thierry Henry received a mysterious message from Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne received an applause replacement just before the end. The intense hug with Pep Guardiola was proof that things are clearly still good between the two, despite a lot of speculation.

After the game, Thierry Henry had a long conversation with Kevin De Bruyne, without the microphone on. The question is what was said there, but the former assistant of the Red Devils keeps his lips tightly closed.

“I can’t tell you what he said, I have to keep that between us,” Henri said. “But what he told me makes me even more respectful of how he performed today.”

Henry continued to refuse to say what it was about. According to analysts, De Bruyne could have finished the match with an injury. Two weeks ago he was sidelined against West Ham and he also did not play against Everton.
