Manchester United forward Tom Lawrence, who is set to make his senior debut for Wales against the Netherlands, is eager to impress Netherlands manager and incoming Red Devils manager Louis Van Gaal with his skills on the field.
The talented young Welshman is hoping that Van Gaal will give him more first team chances when he takes over at Old Trafford this summer.
Lawrence was handed his Manchester United debut by interim manager Ryan Giggs, who is set to become Van Gaal’s assistant, in the 3-1 victory against Hull City and put in an impressive performance with his pace and trickery but the show was stolen by fellow debutant James Wilson who scored a brace.
"If I play it could be an early chance to catch his eye which will be great but I'm sure he'll be concentrating on the World Cup," said Lawrence while speaking to Wales Online about Van Gaal.
"If you had said to me a year ago I would be hoping to play for Wales against Holland in Amsterdam I probably wouldn't have believed you, but that's the way 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.
"It's a bit ahead of schedule; the plan was to continue to develop with the Under-21s with United and Wales but when the chance comes you want to catch the eye.
"It's good just being around the squad and obviously a game like this is massive and great experience.
"But it would be good to have more than just a feel of being in the squad, I want to play games and make my mark and I feel I can do that."
Lawrence who came off for Ryan Giggs against Hull City speaks very highly of his countyman.
"He's a great influence," Lawrence said. "It's good that he's still going to be there at United as he obviously believes in me because he gave me my debut. Hopefully I can repay him and United by showing him my talents and how good I can be.
"It was nice to be the one he replaced in his last game. It was a bit of a surprise but I didn't have much time to get nervous about it.
"The manager called me into the office the day before and said I was in his plans but I didn't know if I was going to be coming off the bench, let alone starting. To then get the nod was incredible. I prepared myself right and hopefully did myself justice.
"Ryan's a great inspiration because you look up to the best players and Ryan Giggs is definitely one of those, having made so many appearances and achieved so much on every level.
"Hopefully I can have a little bit of that myself, which would be nice."
Wales are set to lock horns with the Netherlands today at !9:30 BST.
