Despite spending several years in Portugal as a child, Dier generally speaks with an English accent, so we can only conclude that he went full Steve McClaren – who famously spoke broken English in a Dutch accent during an interview as manager of FC Twente.
We weren’t the only ones to draw that conclusion.

Always impressed when an English player goes abroad and picks up the language straight away. Impressive German here. https://t.co/o2EQaS2SsG

What is it with English people and putting a fake accent on for when they are playing in a new country? https://t.co/Ll5LPVxJqv

Eric Dier may have joined the Steve McClaren Club, but let’s not forget that Joey Barton is the Vice President.
