KEVIN DE BRUYNE left fans stunned as he showed off his new hairstyle on his return to Manchester City.
The 33-year-old is back training with his club for the first time this summer after being given an extended holiday as he played at the Euros for Belgium.
De Bruyne has enjoyed his time off, partying with Virgil van Dijk and soaking up the sun with wife Michele Lacroix in Ibiza.
But he has also been to the barbers and got a bold new trim.
The six-time Premier League winner now has his hair slicked back and put into a tiny bun.
And fans are convinced his team-mate has inspired the new look, with one saying: “The Erling Haaland influence is wild.”
Another added: “He looks like Haaland.”
A third reacted: “Haaland as midfielder.”
Others compared him to Chelsea and England star, commenting: “Kevin De Gallagher.”
This is De Bruyne‘s second change in hairstyle after returning from injury last season with huge quiff.
