Nottingham Forest midfielder Orel Mangala has hinted that he is ready to step into the shoes of Kevin De Bruyne for Belgium, saying that he’s experienced the best season in his career with the Reds.
The 25-year-old joined Forest from Stuttgart last summer. He impressed in his first season in the Premier League, making 27 appearances as Forest secured their place in the division. His performances caught the eye of his national side, with the midfielder earning his first cap for Belgium just before his move to the City Ground.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of the Red Devils euro qualifier against Austria on Saturday, Mangala reflected on the season just gone. He also outlined his aim for the future with the national team.
