Donny Van de Beek wants more. He wants more minutes. He wants more prominence. He wants more titles at Manchester United, starting with the first in the Premier League, one that is still waiting after his arrival from Ajax for more than 40 million euros. “I'm a patient person, but you always want to play as much as possible. I also think that, with the minutes I have had and the times I have entered the field, I have shown that I can give something to the team“, explained the footballer to 'NOS'.
His goal against Spain in the international break has served to reclaim his place in his club. Van de Beek has not yet fully entered the Old Trafford team, although he has had opportunities in the Champions League and in the Cup. However, only accumulates 75 minutes in the Premier League, where he marked the day of his debut entering from the bench. In total, five games entering as a substitute and two of them without even jumping onto the field, precisely against rivals from Chelsea and Everton: “It may sound like a cliché to say this, but of course I would have liked to play more, although I'm enjoying a great team. I have been very well received by all “.
The main problem Van de Beek encounters is that competes with Bruno Fernandes for a starting position, in addition to the Fred, Pogba, Matic or McTominay. The Dutchman has explained that he has had conversations with Solskjaer: “What do you say to me? That I have to be patient, but that I also have to keep doing what I do. He also tells me that he has seen the good impact I have when I enter the field. My moment will come. And when the opportunities come, I have to be ready, “he said.
