Tom Lawrence eager to impress Louis van Gaal on international duty

Manchester United striker Tom Lawrence admits that he would relish the chance to impress Louis van Gaal if he is given his Wales debut against the Netherlands on Wednesday.

Manchester United midfielder Tom Lawrence has admitted that the last month has been "unbelievable" as he prepares to potentially make his international debut for Wales against the Netherlands.

Lawrence made his first senior appearance for the Reds last month, and after being rewarded for his emergence in the first-team squad at Old Trafford with a call-up to the Welsh setup, the former Yeovil Town loanee is keen to perform in front of Louis van Gaal, who will take charge of United after the World Cup.

The 20-year-old is quoted by Wales Online as saying: "If I play, it could be an early chance to catch his eye which will be great but I'm sure that he'll be concentrating on the World Cup.

"If you had said to me a year ago that I would be hoping to play for Wales against Holland in Amsterdam, I probably wouldn't have believed you, but that's the way that this season's been for me. It's been unbelievable.

"Making my debut for Manchester United was a dream come true and now the chance to play for Wales is fantastic."

Lawrence makes the step up from Under-21 level, where he has scored three goals in eight matches.
