Frenkie de Jong put in an impressive performance for Barcelona as they beat Mexican side Pumas UNAM in the Joan Gamper Trophy last weekend.
De Jong started on the bench, with Barca boss Xavi instead selecting a midfield of Gavi, Pedri and Sergio Busquets to start the game. However, De Jong was introduced at the break and delivered a starring performance as the Catalan giants eased to a 6-0 hammering of their Liga MX opponents.
It comes amid a protracted saga over the player's future with both Manchester United and Chelsea pursuing a transfer. United boss Erik ten Hag recently instructed United to remain patient on a deal after holding fresh talks with the player but the Blues are thought to be becoming increasingly confident of securing his signature.
