Jan Vertonghen is the record holder for selections for the Red Devils and it should stay that way for a while. He recently retired from international football.
Jan Vertonghen has long been an essential pillar of the Belgian national team. He saw many coaches come and go and decided to end his career after the last Euro.
The Anderlecht defender has played 157 matches for the national team. He also scored ten times in the Red Devils jersey.
But it will stop at 157. We will not see him again in the national team. “It’s a closed chapter and I fully agree with that,” he said on Sporza.
“When I see (the Red Devils) play, it always itches. It was a big part of my career, so it still hurts a little. But it no longer corresponds to this phase of my career,” he said. -he added.
The Red Devils will soon face Italy and Israel in the Nations League. “I’m looking forward to seeing them play next week, but you won’t see me with the Red Devils anymore.”
