PSV Eindhoven midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has admitted that he would love to move to Manchester United in the summer and link up with Louis van Gaal.

The 24-year-old was part of the Holland World Cup squad managed by Van Gaal in Brazil last summer.

"Of course I would like to work with him again," Wijnaldum told Sky Sports.

"He is a good trainer, and makes players better. I work really fine with him and he is a great man.

"He gave me a chance and opportunity to play in a World Cup after seven months out injured, and I am thankful for that. He helped me get my confidence back.

"I am happy at PSV but I am a player with a lot of ambition. I want to play in a stronger league than the Eredivisie.

"With my quality I feel I can bring a lot to a team that I will join. I want to show it in the big leagues; England, Italy, Spain, Germany and France."

Wijnaldum has scored 15 goals for PSV this season.
