Marco van Ginkel

[LAM09 6,809]

He already made his debut against Hull in the first game of the season, came on as a sub in the second half.

Kl. I totally forgot, as he has been out for most of the season. It would be good for him to make is full debut then.

Marco will replace Locadia at Netherlands training camp.

Great news for him, at least it gives him a fighting chance to go to Brazil. Hopefully we can see him getting minutes against cardiff.

We won't, he has already traveled back to the Netherlands according to his FB page.

MvG on Jose—"He always kept on supporting me during my recovery. I definitely did not get the feeling that he wasn't interested in me. We saw each other on an almost daily basis and regularly spoke. I decided to recover in London, so I'd stay close to the team and the manager. I appeared in the dressing room as well for home games and always had a certain bond with the team."

Sounds promising, got a feeling this guy will be huge for us next season. Mourinho certainly seems to like him and van Ginkel is not like the other youngsters in the team because he was actually bought by Jose and not the previous regime so he knows exactly the kind of player this guy is and what he can bring to the table. He can also start training with Mourinho when most of the first team squad is still in Brazil or on holiday if they're unlucky enough to be knocked out early, so he will definitely have enough time to impress the boss in pre-season.

Of course there's still a small chance of him making it to the World Cup as well, seeing as he was called up to the training camp last week, but personally I can't see him making the final squad. Hasn't played a game since September so it would be a huge gamble by van Gaal to call him up.

Not surprising.. He hasn't played a single minute since september(I mean top football, he played 2-3 matches for the reserves).

He needs to keep working hard and try to convince José in the tour. I think he's gonna make it.

he neednt be too down .. should be encouraged he was called to the training camp ,, get a decent break now and ready for pre season

Missed an incredible amount of football so no surprise really. Still got high hopes for this kid next season.

Looks like Ake is playing left cb or left back tuned in late but Marco playing as a CM

[bluesman2610 1,352]

Nearly scored a header from corner cleared off the line

[Special Juan 27,454]

Having a good game here.

[bluesman2610 1,352]

Seems to play better with more technical players around him really hoping for a quality preseason

Van Ginkel-Matic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who needs Pogba!

[bluesman2610 1,352]

Didn't realize he had the armband on too.. That's pretty huge for a team with some of the talent that it has in it
