United closes the door to Van de Beek and makes him a promise

Donny van de Beek is still wondering why, if Manchester United are not being able to give him the minutes he thinks he deserves, they have not let him out this summer either. The Dutchman, who amazed Europe with that Ajax that was about to conquer Europe, has been fading since he arrived in England, to the point where he still hasn't worn the Red Devils jersey for a single second this season. From the Old Trafford offices they ask him for calm, and, as the player's own agent has admitted, they have made a promise to retain him this year.

At 24 years old, Van de Beek feels that he does not have the confidence of Solskjaer, and the truth is that it is not very misguided. Last year, for example, he only started 15 games as a starter, but in the Premier and in the Europa League, the two really important competitions for the team, their participation was residual. In the league, 512 minutes spread over 19 games, that is, an average of 27 minutes per game, while in Europe, where the Red Devils reached the final, only 139 minutes in three games.

“Many clubs in Holland, Italy and England have been interested in him, but for him to come out we needed the cooperation of the club, which for a few moments seems to have been there, but then no longer. It was a disappointment, but at the same time hopeful because he may have the minutes he deserves, “says Guido Albers, the player's representative. “They have already made this promise to him before, but we have reached a very clear agreement on the matter, so we have no choice but to place all our trust in them.”
