Van de Ven relishes challenge of taking on Manchester United strikers, says Spurs defender

Van de Ven relishes the opportunity to test his skills against the top strikers in the league.

"All strikers in the Premier League are serious challenges," he told Voetbal Primeur. "If you're not sharp enough, they score.

"Last time we played against United, we met Joshua Zirkzee. He's a top player. Then Rasmus Hojlund came in. Also a top player. 

"It's matchups that you look forward to. The same applies to Arsenal with Kai Havertz, Manchester City and Liverpool."
