Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has backed England for success at international level, claiming they have the potential to win Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
The Manchester City star is part of the Red Devils squad who take on the Three Lions in a Uefa Nations League game at Wembley on Sunday.
The 29-year-old has seen first-hand some of the talents coming through the ranks at Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea to earn senior caps in recent years.
England are rated as favourites by bookmakers to triumph in the tournament, which has been delayed to 2021, and De Bruyne is tipping them to make their mark at the next two major tournaments.
"I think they should be very excited," he said.
"It is a very young team with a lot of potential and I think they should aim to win the next Euros and World Cup - I think they have that potential.
"There are always a lot of teams who want to win it, but I think the team they have, the players who play in top clubs, they should do that."
Belgium are currently the world's top-ranked team and beat England twice at the 2018 World Cup but they will be without key men Dries Mertens and Eden Hazard on Sunday.
"It is going to be a tough test but these are the tests that are necessary for us to see what is going to happen against a big team," De Bruyne added.
"With the personnel we are losing at the moment it is going to be a bit harder but we are confident that we can play a good game tomorrow."
