With Van Gaal set to be appointed soon, the Dutch connection means that Manchester United have emerged as strong favorites to sign the 22-year-old Dutch center back. Having previously been linked with Liverpool,and Everton, it seems fairly certain that the Dutchman will wind up at the Premier League next season. Should he have a good World Cup, his price will only skyrocket and many more clubs will want this talented youngster in their ranks.
Verdict
With Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic leaving Manchester United, a wealth of experience goes along with. Although the Dutch center back doesn’t have the necessary experience to slot right in, he has all the makings of a top-class center half and if paired with an experienced defender like Mats Hummels, who has also been linked with the Red Devils, he could form a devastating defensive partnership.
Unlike most young center backs, the 22-year-old is more than capable of blending steel and bite in defense with the ability to marshal his troops. Not only that, his ability to even play as a left back adds to his versatility and is sure to make him a more rounded defender. All of which bode well for a great future for the prodigiously talented Bruno Martins Indi, wherever he goes.
