Crooks BBC team of the week.
The Dutch defender was bought as a centre-half but played at left-back at Old Trafford and looked sensational. I can't remember when I last saw a defender beat three players before steering the ball past the keeper. It's always useful to have a centre-back who can play well in other positions. At a reported £10m, he looks great value for money.
Did you know? Vertonghen made more passes than any other player in the Dutch top flight last season - 2,419 - while maintaining a 90% success rate.
