Kevin De Bruyne gave me his City t-shirt. He knows that I support in the Premier League, I support United. He’s like, you know I’m giving this t-shirt I hope you don’t mind. I’m like man don’t worry, It’s about you It’s not about the club. I have a lot of respect of what they achieved as a club, but its just a funny interaction.Max Verstappen said in an interview
