Donny Van de Beek's future at Manchester United does not look too good. It has been more than a year since his signing for the Old Trafford club and in all this time he only accumulates four games as a starter in the Premier League. This season, without going any further, has not played a minute in the first two league days: “I don't think we will see Van de Beek play many times. It is a very strange case, his situation is disappointing and surprising. They spent about 40 million euros for him and it does not make sense to pay that for someone who almost never starts”, Dimitar Berbatov explained, Former Red Devils forward, in his column on Betfair.
Van de Beek is at a disadvantage against many of his teammates with whom he competes for a spot in the starting XI. Solskjaer prefers Bruno Fernandes in the midfielder position while between Pogba, Greenwood, Rashford, Sancho and company They have closed the ownership list to a band. In the core, Matic, Fred or McTominay have more prominence: “I do not blame the footballer but he is one of the most disappointing signings that I remember. He has a lot of quality. I do not like when clubs buy to buy,” says Berbatov.
With barely a year until the next World Cup, his role in the Netherlands may be forgotten. According to Berbatov, the solution is to leave Manchester United: “If he is not happy, he should force his exit. His position in the Netherlands team is at risk, especially with Louis Van Gaal in charge because he is a disciplined manager who wants his players have minutes. “
