FC Utrecht coach Erik ten Hag is delighted with their swoop for Matty Willock.

The midfielder has joined Utrecht on a season-long loan from Manchester United.

Ten Hag stated this morning: "Matty is a multi dimensional midfielder who played for Manchester United over the past few years, and enjoyed a part of his football training at Arsenal.

"In Manchester, he has not managed to make the move to the first team so far, but we are convinced having seen him often play for youth teams in the Premier League that he can be of value for Utrecht."
