Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk has praised Netherlands teammate Frenkie de Jong following his performance in their country’s win over Belgium on Friday night.
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.
