Justin Bijlow addressed questions about the rumors surrounding him after Feyenoord's friendly win over Club Brugge (2-0). The 25-year-old goalkeeper has been linked with a move to Manchester United recently, although it seems unlikely that Bijlow will actually be seen at Old Trafford next season.

Whereas Bijlow was recently put forward as a potential replacement for David De Gea, Manchester United is now close to securing André Onana. If Erik ten Hag's club manages to close a deal with Internazionale, Bijlow can probably write off a transfer to The Red Devils.
Bijlow himself doesn't completely rule out a summer departure from Feyenoord. "We'll see. My focus is now on Feyenoord and I want to keep it that way as long as I play here," the goalkeeper tells ESPN's camera. "What is true about the contacts between me and Manchester United? Out of respect for Feyenoord, I don't want to talk about other clubs. I just want to focus on what's happening at Feyenoord right now."
Whether Bijlow feels he's ready for the next step in his career, he leaves open. "I've always said I want to reach the highest possible level. I think I'm going to make the move at some point. If it's not this year, then there will be another chance. I'm focusing on Feyenoord right now and I want to leave it at that."
