Frenkie de Jong to Man Utd: Holland star's mesmerising highlights vs Belgium
Holland kicked off their 2022/23 UEFA Nations League campaign in spectacular fashion on Friday evening.
Louis van Gaal’s side travelled to Belgium and picked up a hugely impressive 4-1 victory.
Goals from Steven Bergwijn, Memphis Depay (x2) and Denzel Dumfries secured the three points for the Dutch.
It wasn’t as if Belgium rested key players either. Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku all started the match, but were unable to have any impact whatsoever.
Holland were exceptional on the night, with Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong comfortably the best player on the park.
Operating in his favoured position at the base of the midfield, the former Ajax man wreaked havoc and Belgium just had no answer to his brilliance.
De Jong controlled the tempo of the game, always looked to pass forward and contributed a significant amount in attack, including the assist for Bergwijn’s spectacular opener late in the first half.
The 25-year-old’s individual highlights from Holland’s emphatic victory over Belgium are, unsurprisingly, a joy to watch and they’ve got Manchester United fans even more excited about the prospect of his arrival this summer.
