Barcelona star De Jong, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer to link up with ex-Ajax boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, impressed for the Dutch national side in their 4-1 win over Belgium in Brussels, providing the assist for Steven Bergwijn’s opening goal of the game.

Reports suggest United are continuing to pursue a move for De Jong as Ten Hag gets to work on strengthening his side. And Van Dijk’s glowing praise for the Barcelona man serves as a ringing endorsement for their transfer strategy.

Van Dijk’s thoughts on De Jong’s display were also echoed by Dutch manager and former United boss Louis van Gaal, who like Van Dijk, feels that De Jong always impresses when playing on the international stage for the Netherlands.
