Dutch Youngster Linked With Manchester United For January Move

With a manager from the Netherlands, fans of the Red Devils could have expected some more of his countrymen at the club. Thus the 19-year-old, Daley Sinkgraven, might be joining his namesake Blind at Old Trafford.

Heerenveen midfielder had also become the target of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona who would be very pleased to sign him. Twice capped for Netherlands U21, Sinkgraven is likely to get a call-up for the national side, but only after earning enough experience to do so.

That is why United makes a perfect destination for Eredivisie star who is eager to travel. No, he wouldn't be starring the first team right after joining, but could present the quality at loans, and Premier League (or Championship) is a great place for it.

Sinkgraven was included in 17 league matches during the 2013-14 season at Abe Lenstra stadium. With his father, Harry, who spent the whole career in his home country and even coached Heerenveen's women team, the teenager must have got some plaudits at home.

It looks like, despite, he won't be staying there for a longer period. If that moment is to come now, the starlet would opt for Barcelona, saying: 'To now say that I am going to play for Barcelona one day, well, I can’t of course. I have to give 100% in each and every training session and be the best. You can’t go from Heerenveen to Barcelona without taking a stepping a stone.'

Will Louis Van Gaal be able to reassure him about joining their international rivals?
