Antwerp chief Overmars on Man Utd target Vermeeren: Just like Xavi and Iniesta

Royal Antwerp chief Marc Overmars has no doubts about their young midfielder Arthur Vermeeren.

The 18 year-old, a target for Manchester United, is set to start for Antwerp in their Champions League clash with Barcelona.

Former Barca winger Overmars told Mundo Deportivo: “I have no doubt that he has a fantastic level. The first time I saw him he reminded me of Xavi and (Andres) Iniesta, a footballer of the same profile.”

On the match, the Dutchman also said: “It will be a difficult game.

“Everyone knows that Barcelona is the favorite but we will fight against a strong team and it will be a good experience for our young players, who will play in the Champions League for the first time.”
