Easy to forget just how highly rated he was back at Anderlecht. He was seen as the hottest talent around, and was akin to Hazard/De Bruyne level — captaining a decent Anderlecht side at an extremely young age (for a while) — with some decent G/A’s at the age of 18-19ish.
It never quite materialised to that level, and I don’t think he’ll ever be that good, but he’s still going on to be a very good player.

One aside just to note is he is one of those who’s had an awful lot of football in his legs at a young age though. Senior football at Anderlecht since 16 years old. 400~ games for club and country by the age of 24. For comparison with two random other players his age, Rashford’s (a player you’d say has also played an awful amount) on about 320~; Frenkie De Jong about 240~ish.
