He will be tested in Group C, where Los Cafeteros will be up against Greece, the Ivory Coast and Japan. The Medellin-born player is a left-footed, attacking midfielder who already has all the hallmarks of a world-class talent. This summer, the 21-year-old's performances for Colombia at the World Cup could thrust him into the spotlight and make him a top transfer target. The former striker-turned-defender can also do this.įollowing Brazil 2014, there should be a long line of clubs queueing to sign the 22-year-old.Īfter moving to Porto, following a loan spell at Pescara in July 2013, Juan Fernando Quintero has already crept onto the radars of several clubs in Europe. Meunier is on form, he has been playing regularly for Club Brugge and he has even scored three goals in his last four games. Toby Alderweireld has hardly played for Atletico Madrid this season, and Guillaume Gillet is considered more effective in midfield, which leaves just Anthony Vanden Borre as a natural right-back. He may have just two senior international caps to his name, but Meunier stands a very good chance of going to Brazil. He is well-disciplined and is great in passing the ball forward. Meunier, who is definitely an option for the future, has everything to become a big player on right-back. Now we just have to see how well he fits in the team. We have been keeping an eye on Thomas for quite a while and we are convinced about his qualities. The Club Brugge right-back was called up for the first time by Marc Wilmots in November for friendlies against Colombia and Japan. In Thomas Meunier, the Red Devils have a new star in the making. When people talk about Belgium's chances at the 2014 World Cup, talk invariably focuses on the side's big Premier League names, such as Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany and Romelu Lukaku.
