The £5,000 iPhones were created by iDesign Gold, one of the top custom mobile designers in the world.

He had the club’s emblem and the player’s name etched on each iPhone 14 in the group.

De Bruyne, 32, gave one to Pep Guardiola, his manager, as well.

A source said: “It was a touch of class by Kevin, who wanted to show his appreciation for the team.

“Last season the club won the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup.

“He wanted to inspire them to the same success with a little lift ahead of the Burnley clash.”

The Belgian international said: “I’ve been working with IDG for a few years and I really admire their limited edition phones, they’re like pieces of art.”

His gift was inspired by Lionel Messi – who treated the 35 strong Argentina World Cup winning squad and staff 24-carat gold iPhones worth £175,000 earlier this year.
