Sieben Van der Heyden would naturally have preferred to celebrate his selection with the Red Devils with a victory. But he didn’t look gloomy either. “Trade my selection for victory? No,” he laughed.
See Van der Heyden was certainly the happiest Unionist on Friday. The defender is one of the Devils under 50 caps to have been called up by Roberto Martinez, and he still can’t believe it. “I was with my mother at home and we shed a little tear, yes. Three years ago, I would never have believed it. When you see where I come from… I can barely tell. design,” he smiled. “It is a reward for me and for all my family, who have always supported me”.
He will therefore be able to try to stop Michy Batshuayi and Adnan Januzaj next week. “It’s unreal. But I’m not going to distribute the cleats (laughs). You have to respect the guys who have been there for a long time. It will be up to me to show myself, but I will go with a smile and I will come back with a smile “, says Van der Heyden. “It’s a test and of course I hope to get playing time, but first and foremost I’m going to enjoy it.”
