“Signing for Real Madrid would have been a disaster for Van de Beek”

Van de beek He was very close to being a Real Madrid player, but he has finally gone to Manchester United. Ruben jongkind, Donny Van de Beek's former coach at Ajax, has valued the player's departure to Manchester and not to Madrid.

“In the Premier, Van de beek will be put to the test. The average age in the English league is around 26 or 27, but I think he has shown that he has enough skills to play at the highest level. He likes challenges and has the mentality of wanting to go further and further. I think he closed his signing at the best time, not like Justin Kluivert, for example, who went to Rome too early, “Jongkind acknowledged in the Manchester Evening News.

The coach considers that “the Manchester United it's a good club to move into. United used to sign young players and I think they are a great choice, much better than Real Madrid, which would have been a disaster. United's style of play is more similar to Donny's than Real Madrid's, ”he said.
