Van der Vaart explains why Frenkie de Jong ‘is so good’ for the Netherlands

Early chitter-chatter between Manchester United and Barcelona in regards to Frenkie de Jong hasn’t made much progress with the clubs reportedly still quite far apart on transfer cost. United are only around £45m plus add ons and Barcelona reportedly want around £70m.

That hasn’t stopped the considering from outside parties on whether or not Frenkie should even consider moving to Old Trafford. Rafael van der Vaart has been talking and explained why the midfielder has looked more impressive for the Netherlands.

“I will explain to you why Frenkie is so good at the national team, because he’s the only midfielder with these type of qualities here and he does what he wants.
