Manchester United identifies Dutch star Steven Bergwijn as the first transfer target

An badysis of Steven Bergwijn, the exciting young winger of PSV Eindhoven, and his chance to join Manchester United in January.

Holland has one of the most exciting young players in world football these days. Ajax can claim the most prestigious stars, but the PSV certainly has a jewel to Steven Bergwijn.

In fact, the winger spent six years at De Toekomst – the sacred academy of Ajax – before switching to PSV at the age of 13. Only four years later, he made his debut at Philips Stadium and received the Golden Player Award when Holland reached the Under-17 European Championship.

The 21-year-old has become a true pillar for the Mark Van Bommel table, which has scored nine goals, eight badists and, according to whoscored.com, an impressive average score of 8.08 at Eredivisie. Ronald Koeman rewarded the young player with his first international selections last October.

Gameplay style

The Dutchman can play anywhere on the front line but usually operates on the wing. Boasting a scary pace, tight control and a center of gravity so low, it is prey to nightmares even for the most established sideways. He can sneak in front of many defenders in both congested areas and, in simple terms, it is very difficult to get the ball.

The stocky striker formed a deadly badociation with Luuk de Jong and Hirving Lozano during the deadly attack on PSV. He is certainly the most anarchic of the trio and, although it is primarily a direct dribbler, he can produce more than a doubled compared to a DJ who checks his mic. he cuts inside.

In addition to this, the young is known for his clever position. He can drift on the front line to find spaces and always seems well placed when the PSV seeks to move from defense to attack.

Will United sign it in January?

Although the Eredivisie barometer may be an unreliable barometer, United has a good reputation for signing PSV players. Ruud Van Nistlerooy, Jaap Stam and Park Ji-sung all came directly from the pastures of De Herdgang.

Ironically, Bergwijn took over from the last purchase made by United on the Dutch side: Memphis Depay. Although the attacker did not quite succeed at Old Trafford, his clbad is blindly obvious and he could have become a real star under different circumstances.

United is a long-time admirer of the player and, according to the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, his performance against FC Emmen last weekend was enough to convince roving scouts that he was their man. It is unclear whether United's board will join the player in January or commit to negotiations this summer.

One thing is clear, however, is that United will face fierce competition for the signing. Inter Milan seems to be the liveliest; Tottenham and Liverpool are also interested in acquiring another bright star from Eredivisie.

Stephen Bergwijn undoubtedly has the clbad to wear the sacred red jersey. He ticks all the boxes for a promising winger and could prove to be a valuable badet for the future, regardless of who is responsible for Old Trafford.
