Player to watch – Bart van Rooij
Bart van Rooij joined Twente from NEC in the summer and the right back has already established himself as a fan favourite for the Tukkers thanks to some dynamic performances on the flank.
Van Rooij provides thrust
Van Rooij excelled against Manchester United in midweek and the 23-year-old has also been tearing up trees in the Eredivisie, where he has been averaging 3.00 tackles and 1.30 key passes per game for Twente.
