Marnick Vermijl accepts senior Man Utd U21 role

Marnick Vermijl accepts his senior role with Manchester United U21s this season.

The Belgian defender has shown his versatility this term by operating as a centre-back for Warren Joyce's side. He's also stepped up to the first team, playing 90 minutes in the Capital One Cup exit against MK Dons.

"It's different to when I came here," explained the 22-year-old to MUTV. "I was the young one but now I'm the old one. I need to help the youngsters who come up to our squad to feel good and play well. They need to learn the game at the reserve-team level.

"I think we've made a pretty good start. We've got a really strong team with a lot of youngsters as well."
