Jamie O'Hara, who used to play as a midfielder for Spurs, asserted that Micky van de Ven would easily become a part of Manchester City's team. This statement was made while he was in conversation with his talkSPORT co-host Dean Saunders. Saunders expressed doubt about Van de Ven's skills, suggesting that the player needs to demonstrate his abilities consistently over a longer duration. Nevertheless, O'Hara maintained that Van de Ven is a player of world-class caliber and would certainly be a regular starter under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
