That Donny van de Beek has not fallen on the right foot at Manchester United is proven at first glance. The Dutch footballer, who cost almost 40 million euros last summer from Ajax Amsterdam, is not a starter in Solskjaer's schemes … And now it hardly counts for the Norwegian, as he has not played in the Premier League since December 20, in a game against Leeds. In fact, his last minutes as 'Red Devil' date from December 23 in a cupbearer match against Everton.
The Dutch press is already putting pressure on his compatriot, in the event that he still does not count for his club. In an article published in “De Telegraaf” they recommend Van de Beek “to pack immediately” if he doesn't play Manchester City, in the semi-final match of the League Cup this Wednesday.
The absolute international for the Netherlands, a fixture in the selection calls, aims to play the 2020 Eurocup, postponed to the summer of 2021, but does not have regularity with Manchester United. Footballers like Bruno Fernandes, Pogba, McTominay or Fred are blocking the possibilities of having more minutes with their club. Van de Beek has only disputed 10 matches Premier League (two as a starter and one was replaced at halftime) and has not participated in the last three days.
Solskjaer, for his part, spoke about the adaptation of Van de Beek a few weeks ago: “When there are footballers who come to a new league, to a new team, they always have a transition time. When he has played he has done very well. It says a lot about our depth of squad that we have not had to use it in every league game because we have other players, “he said.
