# Steven Bergwijn: A talent Manchester United can’t pass up

**Manchester United fans will be pleased to see Luke Shaw commit his long-term future to the Red Devils.**

Shaw had become a forgotten man under Jose Mourinho with fitness issues preventing him from breaking into the Portuguese’s first-team plans. United might have been expected to buy a new left-back and offload Shaw with just one year left on his deal. However, the Southampton man has looked back to his best this season and has been rewarded with a new five-year contract and a call-up again to the senior England national side.

United fans will be pleased to see Shaw finally come good after United paid £30m to bring him from St. Marys. It has taken a while, but the left-back finally looks like he belongs in the United defence. To keep the fans smiling, United must make a move for PSV Eindhoven winger, Steven Bergwijn, in the January transfer window.

Valued at £18m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-bergwijn/profil/spieler/284165), the winger is emerging as one of the hottest prospects in the Eredivisie after enjoying a starring role in the PSV side. Bergwijn graduated from the Ajax youth academy but later moved to their rivals and progressed quickly to the first team. The 20-year-old was in fine form last season, netting eight goals and registering 11 assists – his fine performances have continued into the new campaign with four goals and four assists to his name already.

A quick, agile forward with excellent dribbling ability – Bergwijn fits the mould of a traditional Manchester United winger. The youngster loves to beat his man, averaging 3.3 successful dribbles per game this season; more than any other player in the Premier League ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/279425/Show/Steven-Bergwijn)). His arrival would certainly give Old Trafford something to shout about and help United get back to their best.

With Marcus Rashford on the left and Bergwijn on the right – United’s forward line would be secured for the next decade.

**Manchester United fans, thoughts?**
