The Red Devils are beginning a new era under the management of former Netherlands captain Mark van Bommel, who was appointed to succeed Rudi Garcia as head coach in the aftermath of the quarter-final defeat by Spain at the World Cup.
The ex-Antwerp boss got off to a roaring start with an impressive 2-0 win over Italy in Rome that saw Mika Godts register his first senior international goal with Dodi Lukebakio also on target.
Belgium then frustrated a dominant France side missing injured talisman Kylian Mbappe in Brussels, but could not hold on for a valuable point as they were undone by Michael Olise’s late wondergoal.
Back at the King Baudouin Stadium, Van Bommel will be confident of a swift recovery against a Turkey side who continue to struggle under Vincenzo Montella.
Turkey were then surprisingly thrashed 4-1 at home by an out-of-form Italy side who had previously still appeared to be suffering a hangover from their failure to qualify for a third successive World Cup and the Andrea Pirlo saga as they got an emphatic first win of Roberto Mancini’s second stint in charge.

Turkey were booed off at half-time by frustrated fans in Bursa, with the pressure continuing to grow on Montella after a hugely disappointing World Cup campaign that saw his side exit at the group stage despite a win over co-hosts the United States.
