Antwerp midfielder Vermeeren aware of Man Utd rumours

Belgian midfielder Arthur Vermeeren has spoken about the possibility of moving teams in the coming weeks.

The wonderkid, who has impressed for Royal Antwerp, is wanted by top clubs around Europe.

Vermeeren put in a starring display in a 3-2 win over Barcelona earlier in December.

Asked about links to Manchester United, Vermeeren told Belgian news outlet Het Nieuwsblad: "Yes.

"Then you get the articles forwarded or my brothers will come with it. The youngest [14-year-old Caesar] in particular is always very enthusiastic. He reads everything and believes everything immediately!

"Maybe that's normal at that age. but then I tell him that not everything that appears in the newspapers or online is true. All I know is, if my lawyers haven't told me about it, it won't be concrete yet.

"In football, you never know. I would like to stay at this club for the rest of my life. Of course, you want to take it a step further but it is difficult to say when that will be possible. The puzzle must fit together.

"There are so many scenarios to take into account because, suppose you sign somewhere and are loaned out, but then the coach leaves… Then you suddenly find yourself with another coach who may not want you.

"We'll see what happens. But I want to finish the season here anyway."
